Traveller Men’s Health Programme
The overall aim of this project is to address the health inequalities experienced by Traveller men as highlighted in the All Ireland Traveller Health Study (2010).
Our Objectives:
- Develop tools to promote the participation of Traveller men, with a focus on empowerment and self-esteem, on issues that affect their health.
- Identify, build and support inter-sectoral and inter-agency partnerships to create better opportunities and outcomes for Traveller Men.
- Identify issues and recommendations through a collective response which can inform policy makers, service providers and other stake-holders.
