PhD Opportunity: Creative Media as a Vehicle for Reduction of Suicide Risk in Men

Suicide disproportionately affects men, who are less likely to access support through traditional routes.  Increasingly, imaginative initiatives are being developed to support vulnerable men at risk of suicide.  One approach is the use of creative media such as moving image arts.  This PhD study (within the School of Nursing and Midwifery in Queen's University Belfast) will gather interdisciplinary expertise to examine the theoretical potential for creative media interventions which can increase mental health literacy, improve resilience, and reduce the risk of suicide in men in the United Kingdom and Canada.  For more information on this initiative, visit: www.qub.ac.uk/Study/PostgraduateStudy/FundingandScholarships/Doctoral-Training-Centres/spark/Creativemediaasavehicleforreductionofsuicideriskinmen  See: www.qub.ac.uk/Study/PostgraduateStudy/FundingandScholarships/Doctoral-Training-Centres/spark for details of how to apply.  The closing date for applications has been extended to Friday 11th August 2017.
