Men and Boys Conference

It’s been a while since my last post, mainly because I wanted the news about our course to be seen as soon as visitors opened our link. But stuff HAS been happening. A couple of agencies have already acquired the licence to use the course and others are interested. And at the beginning of November Carolyn and I went to the first Men and Boys Conference in Brighton. We put some U-Too news on display boards, gave a talk about the course and met old friends, including Melvyn Davies, who John will remember, and Rob Williams from the Fatherhood Institute, who Den has met.

Rob has arranged for news about the course to appear in The Fatherhood Institute’s next email and I’m helping to put together a list of organisations working with fathers. The idea is that eventually a network of such organisations will be created to lobby for more resources for work with men and boys, and for fathers in particular.
