An Evening With
If you are a friend of the Centre For Men and Families, you are invited to join us for ‘An Evening With’.
An Evening With is the quarterly gathering of the CFMA community where we meet to connect with old friends and make new friends too; where we enjoy good food together; and where we talk about navigating the beauty and the pain of life together.

Andy Roy
Andy Roy has been involved in men’s work for almost 20 years and as a father of six children, he is well aware that the teenage years for adolescent boys are often challenging for the entire family. As co-founder of Powerhouse Programs with Stephen Halsall, they offer their contemporary rite of passage “Journey to Manhood” program for families with teenage boys, because growing up is optional. For boys aged 13-16, this period of life is either fraught with danger or ripe for the harvesting. Mums, dads and the teenager himself are all experiencing this period differently. Andy is also a prolific devourer of ‘rite of passage’ related materials and resources, as he approaches his next rite of passage, into Elderhood.
Stephen Halsall
Stephen Halsall has been involved with ‘men’s work’ programs for almost 20 years, in particular rite of passage programs for teenage boys through both Pathways Foundation and over the last 14 years, Powerhouse Programs. He is currently a military psychologist following a GFC-impacted career change, is married to Ina and the father of two boys, Dominic (11) and Julian (7). Stephen has recently returned from Malaysia where he was responsible for supporting a group of 110 soldiers to thrive within a jungle training experience and develop into ‘better humans’. It is his passion that healthy, community-based ‘rites of passage’ programs will always be available for families that wish to celebrate their childrens’ steps into adulthood.
