Gender and Health Workshop - May 2017

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 9th May 2017, 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 is being facilitated by Finian Murray (Development Officer for Men’s Health, HSE) and Jacqueline Healy (National Women’s Council of Ireland).  For more details, contact Orla Brady at Tel: 046 9076443  |  Email: This email address is being protected from spambots.
