In association with Men’s Health Week in June 2011, the department hosted a seminar entitled Engaging Men in Healthcare. "Men will engage in positive health practices if they are in an environment which supports positive health practices..."
The resources offer insight and advice from two leading men's health professionals about practical ways to better engage men in health. This follows on from the work done to produce the Victorian Men's Health Strategy which advocates for a collective approach to balancing the needs of men and the approaches of services.
