Abstract

Men appear to be struggling to adapt to life-changes and they seem more at risk to experiencing social isolation. Men’s physical health is not improving, neither is their mental and emotional health. While the recent nationwide survey on Men’s Sheds was undertaken with focus on the organization as a forum for men’s access to further education, there is a gap in the research in examining Men’s Sheds as a forum in the context of men’s health.
