Invitation to Young Men and Suicide Stakeholder Meetings

The Men’s Health Forum in Ireland (MHFI) is, currently, undertaking an action-research project into the high rate of suicide among boys and young men on the island of Ireland.  The purpose of the research is to develop and share best practice on how to promote positive models of mental health and to prevent suicide in this target group.  To date, an online questionnaire has been distributed and a literature review of effective practice has been undertaken.  This will be used to inform the design of two practical interventions in the near future.  However, MHFI would like to explore some issues in more depth before moving on to the next phase of development.  If you have an interest or experience in this area, you are invited to attend one of two Stakeholder Meetings.  These will be held on Wednesday 14th September 2011 (Belfast, 11.00am - 1.30pm) and Thursday 15th September 2011 (Dublin, 11.00am - 1.30pm).  For more information, or to register your interest, please contact Colin Fowler at Email: This email address is being protected from spambots.
