This is an event for *men

Participants must be fully vaccinated for COVID-19

The Nelson Project (TNP) is a group of people in Yukon working to support men. We know that men need to feel respect, from themselves and others. We come to you with that respect. We need advice from men who have experience with significant risk factors. You have the expertise we need. The purpose of this event is for men to help us design our approach. This event is not a healing circle where participants will be required to share intimate details of their lives or tell their “trauma stories”.

If you answer YES to questions #1, #2, and #3 below AND you answer YES to at least one of the other 8 questions, you are eligible to participate. Participants will be paid a $200 honorarium. Transportation, food and accommodation will also be provided.
