Walk, talk and support.
Three simple things that can make an impact on someone.
That is what Terry Wilson hopes to achieve when he starts The Man Walk Bunbury on February 11.
The Man Walk began in New South Wales a few years ago and has seen groups across the country take it on as their own.
The national initiative aims to provide a positive environment that is supportive and inclusive.
Mr Wilson said he heard about The Man Walk Busselton on the radio and thought he would give it a try.
After attending a couple of walks he said he liked the concept and thought, why not try his luck in Bunbury.
"There are a lot of people who walk by themselves so this will provide an opportunity for them to walk with others if they want to," he said.
"When men are isolated they tend to just tough it out.
"So if they can connect with other people it might help them."
As a recently retired man, Mr Wilson sees how easy it is to not do or talk to anyone for a long time.
"Especially in these circumstances, so I thought it would be a good idea to get people out and walking," he said.
The 'no strings attached approach' to the initiative is one of the main reasons Mr Wilson likes it so much.
"There is no commitment or cost, if you show up you show up," he said.
The Man Walk Busselton was started up by men's health advocate David Barton about 14 months ago.
Mr Barton said it had been very successful in activating men and combatting isolation and routinely get 25 people coming along for the walk.
He said it has even expanded to include a men's health presenter a couple of times a month to help promote conversation on a range of topics.
"I had to do something more positive on men's health to try and change the narrative and have an impact on what was happening at the ground level and highlight men's health more," Mr Barton said.
The walk will start on Thursday, February 11 at 6.30am from the Dolphin Discovery Centre.
It will be a 50 minute walk along the Koombana Bay foreshore and back, providing the opportunity for people to stay and have a coffee and a chat.
