Hi MENZ Readers,

I work out of the Canterbury Men’s Centre which supports guys by telling them about local useful services and sets up projects relevant to men.

I find myself advocating for men in different government forums and I found this course really useful for me to make a solid case for men in the health and community sector. It is post-graduate level (you need an undergrad degree I think), and extramural (long distance learning works for it).

I didn’t catch even a whiff of feminism in the course content or design and found I could openly discuss my reflections on NZ men’s jouneys without getting bashed. It was also felxible enough to give me the basic info about men’s health, and allowed me to follow my special areas of interest.

I suggest you get in touch with the lecturer if you have any questions. You can also contact me if you want more info.
