"A call for your whereabouts has been made! You're believed to have vanished without a trace!"
**"Wondering Where the Fellas Are in Our Senior Counseling Scene?", muses Nina Becker. As the go-to gal for dementia work at center plus Holthausen, she's curious about the imbalance. Is it a lack of Male Outreach or services that don't resonate with the target demographic?
Nina advocates for gender parity in senior work too. "September brings an 'Action Month' dubbed 'Reach the Dudes', hoping to achieve an even gender balance", she shares. In the pipeline are a slew of free events centering around masculinity.
While the Action Month kickoff on September 1st, with a brewery tour in the old town showcasing the town's unique breweries and the art of brewing, might seem typical, it's just the tip of the iceberg. On September 13th, under the name 'Brotherhood Stories', all men are invited to Reisholz/Hassels to share their experiences, whether work-related, hobbies, or life transitions. The goal? To foster common ground and turn ideas into action for center plus.
As for September 26th, prepare for the 'Best of Us Men' workshop at center plus Benrath. According to Nina, this workshop will focus on identifying hidden talents and needs among men, potentially leading to joint outings, regular activities, or discussion rounds for the lads.
So, if you're a man in Düsseldorf looking to get involved, mark your calendars! Keep an eye out for more details as the Action Month unfolds. And if you're still in the dark about the specifics, don't hesitate to reach out to local counseling centers for more info. Cheers to getting the boys on board!"
