Physical Health

To help foster and nurture a community conversation in Chicago about gay men's health, Project CRYSP holds four free community forums each year. Placing gay men's health in a broad, holistic framework that goes beyond HIV and a limited "navel to knee" approach, the project's focus includes physical, mental and spiritual health as well as sexual health and wellness. Click here to access all LifeLube blog posts regarding the forums.

The forums feature local and national experts and are (mostly) hosted by the Chicago-based Feast of Fun - winners of the 2006, 2007 and 2008 People's Choice Award for Best GLBT Podcast. The Feast of Fun also record each forum for subsequent upload to their website. There is also plenty of time to socialize and enjoy great food.
