NH Feb Vacation Week - Positive Masculinity

NH School Vacation Week - Feb 26-Mar 1

Looking for some fun and engaging activities for your children during school vacation week? Join our Vacation Week Workshops! 

How might you describe a teen boy in your life? It’s likely that your words could include: athletic, smart, driven, funny, helpful, kind…

The qualities mentioned above are impressive & important! But what about the attributes that let others know how your teen is actually doing, such as being vulnerable, sensitive, self-aware and open-hearted?

If it was a bit difficult to describe your (awesome) kiddo as being in touch with his emotions and able to share them, you’re not alone! The reality is that this is a problem that needs to be addressed.

​

Even before the pandemic boys across the nation were struggling with their mental health immensely. Unfortunately, it’s unlikely that most boys will voluntarily share, “I’m struggling and need support.” Instead, we often see boys who struggle with their mental health withdraw, become irritable or act uncharacteristically.

For these reasons I created this 5 Day Positive Masculinity Workshop! To start, supporting boys in talking about mental health is the first step in addressing the male suicide crisis. In this workshop boys contemplate society’s traditional definition of what it means to be a man, consider how historical manhood can be tied to social issues, reflect upon the opportunity to invest in friendships and uplift women, and share what type of adult men they want to be!
