How to Promote Positive Masculinity

This session equips participants with practical strategies to support boys’ healthy development by understanding the unique pressures they face. Moving beyond polarizing language, we explore the concept of ‘precarious’ masculinity and provide educators with a research-backed framework for fostering positive masculinity. Participants will learn actionable techniques to help masculine-identifying youth become their best selves, while creating more inclusive environments where all students can thrive.

THIS MIGHT BE FOR YOU IF...

You’ve noticed boys shutting down emotionally, dismissing vulnerability, or defaulting to dominance — and you’re not sure how to respond. Maybe you’ve tried addressing it and it hasn’t landed. Maybe you’re not sure where to start. This workshop is for educators and school staff who want more than theory: you want tools that actually work with the boys in front of you.

WHAT WE'LL COVER

● 'Toxic' & precarious masculinity — why boys feel constant pressure to prove their manhood
● Positive masculinity — a strengths-based framework for what to move toward
● Role models & representation — who's shaping boys' ideas about manhood, and how to broaden the picture

WHERE IT WORKS

This workshop was originally designed for educators working directly with boys in school settings, and it’s still where it does its best work. Over time it’s been adapted for summer camps, sports environments, and parent communities — any setting where adults are asking the same question: how do I help the boys in my care thrive?

“Thanks for all you do and for creating this program—it is so important. This session felt like a drink of water in the midst of a desert.”

“This is the kind of education needed today. It is really inspiring, as an educator, to see the students so engaged with this material. There was a very powerful message delivered, in a way that made our group of young men want to listen.”
