To conclude Series 1 of the Men's Health Matters podcast, Cameron Gyss sits down with two of his best mates, Callum and Tom and has a frank conversation about men's health, and discusses what they feel are some of the important health issues facing young men. Cameron wasn't sure how this would pan out, given the subject matter was a bit foreign amongst friends. Instead, it ended up being a great session with all of them being more than happy, when asked the questions, to share their own experiences and views on such matters as mental health, masculinity and manhood in the modern day, sexual health, and going to the doctor. They recognise that their opinions and attitudes are their own and will differ to other young men men with their own unique backgrounds, experiences and opportunities.
See you for Series 2 at some point.

Mr Kootsy Canuto: "Half sick" & gender-specific GP services.
In this podcast, I chat with Kootsy about his discussions with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men on going to the Doctor. He talks about the concept of being "half sick" and how the delivery of GP services doesn't work for many Indigenous guys; something that does nothing to address the gaps in health between Indigenous and non-Indigenous men.
Kootsy, a sociology graduate, sees the benefits of gender-specific services. He says he didn't make it as a rugby player, so he is pursuing a career in research to make a difference to men's health and well-being.
Kootsy is in his final year of his PhD at the Aboriginal Research Unit at the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute.
