Leeds Men:
- Are five times more likely to die by suicide than women
- Are twice as likely to have a drug or alcohol problem
- Are more likely to die by covid
- Have the skills and willpower to start changing this now.
If you’re a Leeds man (or identify as a man) living or volunteering in Leeds and you want to improve your skills supporting other men to lead healthier and happier lives, join this free online course delivered by Human's Being and funded by Leeds Community Foundation. This will cover:
- Using your strengths, values and experience to support others
- Men, masculinity and health - risks and opportunities
- Little conversations that make a big difference
- Signposting - connecting men to local services and helping them find the motivation to reach out
- Supporting women to feel safe and respected
- Suicide risk awareness and action
- Group work facilitation skills.
After the course, you will be supported to go back to your community and put into practice what you’ve learned. You could be running workshops, sorting out new healthy living activities, raising awareness and changing attitudes or supporting a mate or family member who’s going through a tough time. Whatever you want to do, we can help you make a difference!
