Qanuqtuurniq Finding the Balance TV Series: "How are
we as men?" is the first of a 3-part public TV series on Inuit health and
wellness. Inuit men have experienced
many changes to their way of life in just two generations. This has sometimes left Inuit men feeling
lost and unsure of their place in the family and community. Their level of distress can be seen in the
low school completion rates and high levels of incarceration and suicide. Programs and services for men – many created
and led by men – are giving them an opportunity to seek help, better understand
their needs and strengths, and revive their traditions and culture. Viewers will see live discussions,
information from the International Polar Year's Inuit Health Survey, and
stories of community programs that are helping Inuit men to improve their
physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. Details at http://bit.ly/NU11nV.
Why Publish in CES4Health? Here’s what CES4Health author, associate
editor and University of Alberta faculty member Fay Fletcher has to say!
“As a community-engaged researcher, what excites me about
CES4Health is its potential to widely disseminate high quality products that
can improve the health of communities and "count" in the faculty
promotion and tenure process. Every
product submitted is peer reviewed by community and academic experts. If it's published, the Editor sends an email
about the publication and the rigorous peer review process to people that
authors identify, such as deans, department chairs and supervisors. CES4Health also tracks how many times a
product is downloaded and can follow-up with users to find out how it was used
- important data that can be included in promotion and tenure dossiers and
grant proposals. CES4Health does not
retain copyright for any of the products it publishes.”
Thanks,
Rahma Osman
