Debate NUDZ + Respekt: Why Aren't We Talking About Men's Health - 13/5

Alarming suicide rates, lower willingness to attend preventive check-ups and therapy, or changing roles in partnerships and parenthood. These are just a few of the challenges men have been facing in recent years, but they are not widely discussed in public. Why is that the case, and how can it be changed? We invite you to a discussion hosted by Respekt Weekly and the National Institute of Mental Health.

We invite you to a debate hosted by Respekt and the National Institute of Mental Health (NUDZ), which follows the special edition of Respekt Let's Talk About Men, released at the end of March 2024.

Respekt + NUDZ: Why aren't we talking about men's health?

On Monday, May 13th, from 7:00 PM at the Karlín Barracks in Prague, Prvního Pluku 20/2

Alarming suicide rates, lower willingness to attend preventive check-ups or therapy, and changing roles in partnerships and parenthood. This is a list of several challenges that men have been facing not only in the Czech Republic but also globally, and are not being openly discussed. How are the demands of modern society changing for men? And why aren't we talking about it?
