Interrelate Annual Report 2015-16 | Page 53

Interrelate was part of a consortium of agencies that hosted the event, with the Gathering incorporating the 8th Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Men’s Health Conference and the 11th Australian Men’s Conference. Matt Stubbs, Head of Research & Service Development and Stuart McMinn, our local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community Worker, were on the conference organising committee. Under the theme ‘Sharing the Wisdom’ the Gathering brought together practitioners, researchers, workers and traditional elders to share both new and traditional knowledge of what works in engaging and assisting men and boys. Delegates from the conference were also provided with an On Country experience, visiting some of the Central Coast’s sacred Aboriginal sites guided by local cultural representatives.
