Given the demand for the Western Bulldogs Community Foundation's Sons of the West Men's Health Program and the Daughters of the West Women's Health Program, we want to create an online health program. This online health program will give people in the West of Victoria the relevant tools to learn more about their health through online presentations and information created by health experts. It will also focus on social connection by linking community members with each other and act as a safe space for people to share their stories.
Unfortunately, health data shows that people living in the West of Victoria face some of the toughest health challenges across the state. The Sons of the West and Daughters of the West programs have supported thousands of people to be able to better look after their health. Like the face to face programs, this online version will deliver clear and easy to understand health information, connect people from all walks of life and continue to support the community of the West to live a healthy and positive lifestyle.

Well Done Jonathan! I have seen the difference this terrific program has made to you & many of my Sons of the West /Daughters of the West friends.
This is the 2nd year I have been involved with DOTW . I look forward to going, seeing the ladies & trying something new each week, informative,
keeps you in the loop & on top of your health, being reminded to go for various health checks, which may save your life, talk friends/family, remind them too!
A little effort goes a long way. Such a wonderful program that not only benefits us, but our families too. So glad to be involved. Xx
Lisa what can I say? you are always supportive and amazing and I know you make your DOTW group better for being there. Thanks for the vote and sharing this with your network. Mwah

Currently participating in Sons Of The West - North. To take this excellent program online will provide access to many who are unable to physically attend a location. The key focus on physical and mental health are so well addressed that the Daughters and Sons Of The West program must be made available via a flexible course delivery option, such as online.
I strongly suspect there would be a very signicant number of females and males who would like to, (or should), participate but are unable to attend venues. Also access to the program to remote localities from Western Regional Victoria would be a terrific next step..
I further believe that money spent to enhance individuals health will be more than saved as a result of better health wellbeing as a result of their participation.
