MEN’S HEALTH TRAINING

As part of Connecting for Life Kerry, Cork Kerry Community Healthcare HSE Mental Health in partnership with HSE Department of Community work Kerry have organised a 1 DAY MENS HEALTH TRAINING PRORGAMME. Please find attached and cited below information. The training is delivered by the National Mens Health Network which will be held in the O’Connell centre Caherciveen on Wednesday the 15th of November from 9:15-4:30. To book a place in the workshop contact Juliann.lane@hse.ie.

The closing date for applications is Friday the 3rd of November. Connecting for Life Kerry has identified Older people, specifically men living in rural isolation as a priority group. Death by suicide is primarily a male phenomenon in Kerry and is reflected in the fact that for every female suicide, between four and five men take their own lives. Therefore, understanding suicide through the lens of the broader determinants of health is essential in order to create strategies for engaging men around their health. With this in mind, the training aims to provide front line workers with the skills and knowledge to best connect with men.
