Welcome to my/our blog. This can be accessed through our main website www.saskatoonmenscenter.com and I will soon be sending out a mass-email message to all of our friends and supporters from the last 5 years with the direct link included.
The idea behind the blog is to provide for an exchange of information, ideas and opinions that is current and relevant. Our main website will still contain information and resources that can assist men and boys in everything from health and mental health challenges to parenting issues, male violence, current events in Saskatoon and issues that may be of interest to men and those who care about them.
As the year unfolds and some of the changes planned for the MRC take place we will be able to present and discuss them here. Our Anger Management programs, the White Ribbon Campaign and other work we do will be open to discussion and comment through our blog.
March 30th - April 3rd the United Nations,the World Health Organization, MenEngage and other International bodies will be hosting the World Symposium on Gender Equity for Men and Boys in Rio De Janeiro. I am privileged in that I have been invited to attend this conference and it is this conference that has triggered the idea for a blog. I hope to be able to provide regular "live updates" from the conference as the proceedings unfold. I will also offer some thoughts about working with men pre and post conference.
In my next blog-post I would like to begin with some thoughts about the way(s) we have come to work with men in Canada and North America compared with the innovative approaches to everything from Domestic Violence to Parenting being used elsewhere in the world.
