Gender and Health Workshop: May 2016

Health professionals, youth and community workers, and frontline staff are invited to apply for a place on a ‘Gender and Health Workshop’ which will take place on Tuesday 10th May 2016, from 9.15am - 4.30pm, in the Regional Education Centre, Ardee, Co. Louth.  The aims of the workshop are to: explain the difference between sex and gender; explore how gender intersects with other determinants of health and can determine health status; identify how our own perceptions of gender roles can influence our attitudes and behaviours; describe roles and norms concerning masculinities and femininities; look at ways of working from a gender sensitive perspective to reduce inequity and improve health outcomes.  This training will be facilitated by Finian Murray (Development Officer for Men’s Health) and Rosemary O’Callaghan (Development Officer for Women’s Health) from the HSE Dublin North East.  For more details, contact Geralyn Nolan at Tel: 041 6850675 | Email: This email address is being protected from spambots.
