This workshop was very interesting as it was focused on the problem of loneliness in men and how it can lead to suicdal behaviours.

Covered such topic as:

• Importance of needing to nuture relationships, both personal and societal.
• Be wary of fearlessness in men when it comes to their physical well-being.
• Look out for people that feel as though they are a burden on society and get them professional help.
• The importance of getting back to nature. The stimulus we get from nature far outweighs the stimulus that we get from an urban environment.
• Insomnia is a major problem. (he says writing this at 1.30am) so clearly this is an area i will have to personally work on to enable me to become more productive.  Strategy = Wake up at the exact same time everyday regardless of when you went to bed.
• Men don't talk enough to each other.
• Team sports are very good for our emotional well-being.
• and much much more....
