SUMMARY:Fleetwood Community Trust celebrate local men - event at Sea Cadet Base
DESCRIPTION:On International Men’s Day next month\, Fleetwood Town Community Trust will gather the local community and celebrate local men at an event which will be held at the Sea Cadet Base from 11am until 3pm. \nInternational Men’s Day is celebrated on 19th November each year by over 70 countries\, and focuses on raising awareness of discrimination and men’s health. \nThe event\, which is sponsored by Fleetwood-based charity Men’s Shed\, will showcase services on offer to men and women in the town with representatives from a number of charities and community groups including Healthier Fleetwood\, Trinity Hospice\, Lancashire Mind\, Prince’s Trust\, Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services\, and more. \n\n\n\nThe event will be opened at 11am by Fleetwood Town Chairman and local business owner Andy Pilley\, and there will be guest speakers including local boxer Brian Rose (12pm)\, Men’s Shed founder Tony O’Neill (1pm)\, and Dave McPartlin\, Headteacher at Flakefleet Primary School (2pm). \nJohn Hartley\, Community Sports Development Officer at the Community Trust\, has played a pivotal role in organising the event\, after Stuart Macrae\, who is from the local area\, approached him with the idea. \n“I joined forces with Stuart to organise this International Men’s Day event to bring the community together and give residents the opportunity to find out about local organisations and networks they can look to for support. \n“As well as celebrating men who have a positive impact on the town\, it’s the perfect chance to meet new people.  By opening up and sharing experiences\, we can help tackle social isolation and improve mental health across the town.” \nIn the lead up to the event\, we would like to encourage everyone to nominate the male they think has created the greatest impact on the local community over the last year. The person with the most votes will be presented with a certificate during the event. Click here to cast your vote. \nTony O’Neill\, Founder of Men’s Shed\, said: \n“This event is about bringing Fleetwood together as a community\, and respecting the fact that men have feelings too. So many men bottle things up as there’s still a stigma surrounding men opening up and talking about how they feel\, and this shouldn’t be the case. \n“This is the perfect event to show men that there are others in the same boat as them. We want to nullify the stigma surrounding men’s mental health\, and let them know it’s ok to ask for help.” \nMen’s Shed is a charity offering peer support\, help\, advice and friendship to members. It provides people with a place to share their experiences and helps them open up emotionally\, making a real difference to the lives of local residents. \nRefreshments will be served throughout the event\, and everyone who attends will receive a goody bag. Free car parking will also be available opposite the venue\, on Rossall Point car park. \nWe hope to see you all there on Tuesday 19th November at the Sea Cadet Base\, 140 Beach Road\, Fleetwood\, FY7 8PQ.

SUMMARY:International Men's Day - School Assembly Plan
DESCRIPTION:From Andrew Farrell: \nhttps://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/international-men-s-day-assembly-12172531 \nThis assembly is suitable for KS3/4 and is intended to be interactive. It can be used to mark International Men’s Day\, or as an assembly that focuses on the needs of boys and men. The statistics come from the Men and Boys Coalition. \nI have included an introductory exercise that I thought was important when delivering this topic. I want to ensure that the audience focuses on issues that relate to boys and men and not\, as is so often becomes the case\, default to a tit-for-tat debate. The topics covered are not comprehensive\, but I have left out subjects that may be contentious\, inappropriate for an assembly\, or upsetting for students.\nThere is also a short ppt that could be used as a follow-up activity.

SUMMARY:Masculinity in the Workplace Conference
DESCRIPTION:Mary Portas\, author of Work Like a Woman and founder of the Portas Agency\, is leading the line-up at this year’s Masculinity in the Workplace conference. \nThe conference takes place on International Men’s Day\, 19 November\, in the London headquarters of Havas KX. It will also feature Han-Son Lee (founder of Daddilife); Marvyn Harrison (founder of Dope Black Dads); and Coca-Cola European Partners’ Richard Schmidt. \nIt will offer attendees the opportunity to debate and discuss new\, modern constructs around masculinity. By challenging constructs of masculinity that currently exist in some workplaces\, the event will open up fresh conversation to provide inspiration for change. \nAttendees will learn more about the opportunities for male leaders to embrace change\, how to expand their capacity for vulnerability\, and will take part an open conversation around mental health issues. \nThe event will be powered by culture change business Utopia and The Hobbs Consultancy\, in collaboration with HeANDShe and Token Man.  The line-up also features CDM Group’s Phil Bartlett and accessibility rights activist Will Pike. \nDaniele Fiandaca\, co-founder at Utopia and Token Man\, said: “Recent focus has been on the changes that women need to make to fit into a masculine workplace\, when we should be focusing on creating more inclusive workplaces which work for all genders. This event will re-examine the damaging traditional masculine traits that are hindering modern businesses\, and explore ways we can build workplace cultures that are more effective and more inclusive for everyone. \n“This event is for anyone who is passionate about driving gender equality in the workplace and we welcome everyone however they identify or express themselves. In particular we would love to see a broad representation of CEOs\, CMOs\, HR Directors and inclusion & diversity practitioners.” \nRoxanne Hobbs\, founder of HeANDShe and The Hobbs Consultancy\, added: “The vision for the event is to re-examine the idea of the hero. We found that many leaders who had really questioned their bias\, impact and stereotypes were those for whom something hard had happened. An inciting incident had led to a paradigm shift and a subsequent behavioural change. \n“What can we learn from these people?  We want to create a culture in which being a male leader is synonymous with courageous vulnerability\, caregiving\, empathy and balanced mental health. We simply cannot talk about creating a difference with gender in the workplace without including men in the conversation and without making masculinity part of that discussion.”

SUMMARY:Plymouth International Men's Day 2019 Conference
DESCRIPTION:Plymouth International Men’s Day Conference celebrates positive male role models in Plymouth and raises awareness of men’s issues.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nThe aim of International Men’s Day is to celebrate positive male role models in Plymouth and raises awareness of men’s issues. These include topics such as men’s health\, diversity\, toxic masculinity\, coping with bereavement and the prevalence of male suicide. \nEach year the event has gone from strength to strength in the UK and is marked and celebrated by a variety of organisations in the private\, public and charitable sectors across the country. Many have used it to highlight the need to provide more support from men and boys as well as the support they already provide. \nIMD in the UK takes a gender inclusive approach and therefore believes in ensuring that issues affecting women and girls are also resolved. \nIt also recognises the intersection between gender and other factors such as race and sexuality which can compound the inequalities affecting men and boys. \nWe will follow that same ethos at the Plymouth conference. \nThe Plymouth conference aims to celebrate positive male role models\, provide a forum for open discussion and provide access to health care support \nThroughout the afternoon we will hear from local and national speakers from diverse backgrounds covering a broad range of topics appropriate to the issue that men face on a daily basis. \nThere will be ample opportunity for delegates to mingle\, meet and learn from each other and from the various organisations and exhibitors supporting the conference. \nFurther information can be found on the website https://plymouthimd.co.uk and by following Plymouth International Men’s Day on Facebook and Twitter \nWe look forward to welcoming you to our inaugural conference. Please share this great occasion with friends and on social media.

SUMMARY:Suicide and Self Harm Lecture at Queen's University Belfast
DESCRIPTION:The School of Psychology at QUB invites all staff and students to attend a presentation for International Men’s Day 2019\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nAs part of the School’s Athena SWAN activities\, we have invited Prof Siobhan O’Neill (Ulster University) to present her seminal work on suicide and self harm. The presentation followed by Q&A is at 2-3pm and takes place in OG.115 in the David Keir Building. \nWe would be delighted if you would consider joining us. \nSummary \nSuicide is a leading cause of death of men in Northern Ireland\, and recent studies have shown that one in five students here have engaged in self harm. In this talk Siobhan will discuss the factors associated with suicidal behaviour and self-harm including the role of mental illness and emotional regulation. She will explain the psychological and biological functions of suicidal behaviour as the basis for an understanding of what we can do to address this problem\, and what treatments work to address this problem. In this talk Siobhan will discuss her own recent studies of factors impacting on suicidal behaviour in public places\, and the evidence of suicidal behaviour as a result of the transgenerational legacy of the Troubles. \nSpeaker Biography \nProfessor Siobhan O’Neill is a Professor of Mental Health Sciences at Ulster University where she has worked for almost 20 years. In 2008 Siobhan coordinated the largest ever study of mental health in Northern Ireland\, which was part of the World health Organisation’s World Mental Health Survey Initiative. This study revealed the high proportions of the NI population who engaged in suicidal behaviour and self harm. Siobhan subsequently coordinated the NI suicide study\, a study of the characteristics of over 1600 suicides and undetermined deaths and the first comprehensive mental health study of student mental health in NI. She has over 140 research papers in peer-reviewed journals. Siobhan is also a member of the Board of Directors of the Irish National Suicide Research Foundation\, and counselling charity Youthlife. She sits on the Advisory Board of the National Confidential Inquiry into Suicide and Homicide in people with a mental illness in the UK and is a member of the NI Towards Zero Suicide Collaborative group. Her current research programmes focus on mental health in school children\, the transgenerational transmission of trauma\, and suicide crisis line caller behaviour.
