    The Gay Men’s Health Project (GMHP) are delighted to present the 2nd All Ireland Gay Health Forum (GHF2) in the Ash Suite, Croke Park, Ireland’s premier National Football Stadium. GHF2 is funded by the East Coast Area and the Northern Area Health Board and is free for delegates. It takes place during Dublin Pride 2004.

    This year’s theme “Transmitting Messages” highlights the many aspects of sexual health promotion and service delivery, the issues facing gay and bisexual men, the service providers, including gay community groups. Dealing with images, messages, and delivery methods in relation to sex and sexual health, the forum will provide an opportunity for people involved in this area to share ideas, experiences and skills.

    The programme headings Settings, Profiles and Actions & Issues contains some suggestions from GHF1, along with presentations, roundtable discussions and small workshops. The starting and finishing times allow for those travelling from outside Dublin and gives plenty of opportunity for networking. (The GHF1 evaluation and presentations is now at www.gaymenshealthproject.ie click on “Viva La Diferencia”).


    BOOK YOUR GHF2 PLACE EARLY!
    As places are limited we request delegates to register before Wednesday 16th June.
    Confirmation and further details on venue will be forwarded.

    The GHF2 Organising Team look forward to seeing you at the Forum.
