‘Engage’ Men’s Health Training for Trainers in the Republic of Ireland

In recent years, a National Men’s Health Training programme (called ‘Engage’) has been rolled-out in the Republic of Ireland.  Engage was developed in response to the growing demand from service providers for support to improve their engagement and work with men.  The content is based upon evidence from academic and evaluation literature, the authors’ practice experience, and an extensive 24 month pilot phase.  During September and October 2014, a further Training for Trainers programme will be delivered in the Republic of Ireland.  Participants will be selected on the basis that they represent the broadest possible range of men’s work experience, geographic locations, workplace settings and interest groups throughout the Republic.  On completion of the course, they will each be required to deliver sessions to front line practitioners.  Applications are now being accepted for this programme.  A full overview of the programme is available at: www.mhfi.org/engagetraining2014RoI.pdf while application forms can be accessed at: www.mhfi.org/engageapplication2014RoI.doc   Please note that the deadline for submission of applications is 5.00pm on Friday 6th June 2014.
