The Male Link - Focus Groups

From the outset, The Male Link Steering Group members recognised the urgent need to gather baseline information on the current situation facing specific groups of local males. This recognised that being male does not, in itself, imply a common experience.

To achieve this, Steering Group members convened a series of "Focus Groups" to begin the process of exploring some particular issues facing males and the possible barriers to engaging them in support groups/programmes across a range of work areas. These groups met during Spring and Summer 2000.
