Traveller men's health status is low  and Traveller men die 15 years younger than men in the general population.    Traveller health is impacted by racism and discrimination.   And a significant killer in the community is suicide.Pavee Point Men's Health Team and a group of Traveller men from Coolock, Finglas and Clondalkin in Dublin worked with Geoff 'The Poet' Finan over a six week period to explore these issues  and used  creative ways  to share their story through their own lived experience. The result was a powerful and hard hitting poem called Gloke (Cant for man). The poem brings you on a journey through the life of a Traveller man growing up. This poem was recently performed by a Traveller man at the First Fortnight Mental Health Festival event Empowered Voices. The next step is to produce a film of the poem being performed by Travellers so that we can bring our poem to film festivals and highlight the mental health issues facing Traveller men.
