Those who are considering, developing or currently delivering work with young men and who would like the opportunity to reflect on practice, and have an opportunity to consider what affects young men’s mental wellbeing and approaches to working with them on this issue.
Further to this course, the HPA will be offering a free follow-up session for participants to exchange practice on how they have used the resources, and to make recommendations for further developments which would assist in their work.
