As we gear up for Movember, let's deep dive into:

the factors influencing men's wellbeing
the need to shake up traditional notions of masculinity
why we should switch from programs to a movemnt of change that gets men talking from the heart and the wairua.

Get ready to dive into the world of men's wellbeing - it's a rollercoaster of statistics, challenges, and triumphs! From the heartbreaking truth of male suicide rates to the struggles faced by men in various aspects of life.

It’s clear that well men make a world of difference. Let's shift gears from the usual 'fix the men' mindset to a strength-based journey that empowers men to thrive.

This workshop isn't about programs; it's about sparking a movement where men lead the charge of taking responsibility for their wellbeing.

From boys to older men, each stage of life brings unique wellbeing challenges. So, let's turn the spotlight on creating a culture where men transition from feeling blue to becoming champions of their own wellbeing.

Let's make wellbeing more than just a trendy term - let's make it a roadmap for thriving men. And hey, if you've got a tricky challenge in your men's wellbeing project, bring it to the table for some brainstorming magic. Let's crack the code together and pave the way for a brighter, healthier future for men everywhere!

TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A WORKSHOP WITH INTERNATIONALLY RESPECTED AND AWARD WINNING MALE SUICIDE PREVENTION SPECIALIST BARRY TAYLOR

Barry has worked in mental wellbeing promotion and suicide prevention/postvention for 34 years at the local, national and international levels. His extensive experience includes sitting on state and national government advisory committees; designing, implementing and evaluating suicide prevention programs; writing suicide prevention guidelines, training packages and community resources; providing technical advice to community based and national mental wellbeing and suicide prevention programs.

He has led multiple ‘firsts’ in the context of suicide prevention and postvention both in Aotearoa New Zealand and overseas. In recognition of his outstanding contribution to mental wellbeing and suicide prevention, he was awarded in 2016 the NSW Mental Health Commissioner's Community Champion Award. He currently sits one of the Health and Disability Ethics Committees.

Drawing also on his extensive experience in working with men of different cultures, age groups, genders and sexualities, he offers practical and time proven approaches to effective initiatives to optimise men's wellbeing. He sits on Movember Funding Review Panels.

As a health sociologist, Barry offers an unique insight into the evolving movement to promote men's mental wellbeing in the Aotearoa-New Zealand context and the critical social and cultural determinants that influence it, insights that very few others trainers or training programs in this country provide. He has had an interest on the impact of social exclusion, discrimination on wellbeing and advocates for a human rights approach to wellbeing.The workshop is enriched by the learnings from Barry's own lived experience of depression and suicidality and his pathway to recovery.
