Following on from our first focus group, 'Calling the Men', on 4th June, we will be holding a second session on 25th June to develop on what was discussed. You can read more about the first session here.
When it comes to mid life career transition and support, there seems to be a lot of provision for women, but not a lot is done for the men.
We’ve made several observations about the experience of men going through a period of career transition, and we recognise there are some unique challenges the 50+ man will experience, which we’d like to get more detail on so that we can better understand the issues.
Patrick Barrow is a new Brave Starts member who feels there needs to be some focused practical support for men to talk about what help they want, and in what shape, format and structure this might be facilitated.
If you are interested in contributing to the session and giving Patrick (and us at Brave Starts) a steer on how best to help you, please register.
In return, we envisage you’ll get some benefit from taking part, such as:
We look forward to welcoming your contribution.
