Good evening everyone.

Following on from latest government advice we are hoping to commence training for juvenile girls and boys from Monday 26th April.

In preparation we need to get all members registered. Forms have been sent out to all groups but if you need one please email [email protected]

Once completed the form can be returned to the same email or it can be collected when training commences.

(We will have forms available on the when commences too).

 

Healthy Club Project. Recipes for Success

The national health & wellbeing committee have developed a number of additional Healthy Eating resources in line with our Recipes for Success programme  which will be published over the next 5 weeks. These range from videos to recipe inspiration and healthy eating posters. These will be shared to you through our usual social media platforms.

 

 

Engaging Men Webinar Series: Why Men's Health?

You are invited to the first in a series of webinars focused on Engaging Men. The Why Men’s Health? webinar takes place on the 29th April from 12.00 – 13.00 and registration is here. HSE Health and Wellbeing, together with the Men’s Health Forum in Ireland, the Men’s Development Network and the Men’s Health Research Centre in IT Carlow will host this series of webinars which will bring you expert insights about the work and learning from the delivery to date of the HSE National Men’s Health Action Plan 'Healthy Ireland Men'.

 

Stress Control

As the HSCNI or HSE can’t deliver our Stress Control classes in the community just now, Dr Jim White will, instead, live-stream the classes until June, free-of-charge. All you need to successfully complete this class is to watch each of the six sessions, read the booklets and use the relaxation and mindfulness. You can find the sessions on YouTube. Further details on dates and where to find the videos can be found at the following links;
