In light of the public health restrictions related to the Covid-19 pandemic, the 2020 and 2021 sessions of The Annual Men’s Gathering have been held in online spaces, working developmentally in a digital setting.
The theme of The Annual Men’s Gathering 2021 centred on Rebuilding Connections – Sustaining Ourselves through Challenging Times and looked ahead to how men can support each other to “Build Back Better”.
