The next Gay Men's Health Leadership Academy is just getting underway today (March 21-24, 2008) in the lovely gay haven of Guerneville, CA, otherwise known as the Russian River.32 gay men and allies will be visiting the Wildwood Retreat Center to participate in the lively and invigorating atmosphere of the GMHLA.
Once again, the academy will be blogging participants' experiences at their sassy blog . You can also follow Chris Bartlett's tweats as he twitters his experiences from the academy at this twitter link.
The Leadership Academy was founded by Eric Rofes and Chris Bartlett, and provides twice-yearly academies that explore the following areas:
1. Ways of expanding gay men's health work beyond HIV and STI prevention tohealth and wellness writ-large.
2. Challenging views of gay men that are based in deficits, and insisting on an assets-based model of our health.
3. Transforming models of gay men's health based on pathology to ones based upon wellness.
