Research Partnership //
|
In 2018, Conviction Group and Western Sydney University met to discuss a multi-layered partnership for the purpose of promoting the health of young males. Conviction Group has an excellent track record of running health and wellbeing programs for young males. Staff and students at Western Sydney University have a fantastic track record of engaging in research around male health, as well as having a pool of social work and community welfare students to provide additional resources whilst completing their field placements. A research partnership was set-up between Conviction Group and Western Sydney University to collaborate on and produce high quality research on young males’ perspectives on pivotal topics relevant for their health and wellbeing – a research area where there has been little similar work done to date. Conviction Group and Western Sydney University have received approval by the ethics committee of the university to undergo this exciting research for at least the next five years. |
