Positive Masculinity: The Challenges Facing Boys

Webinar Aim

This positive masculinity webinar has been specially designed for pastoral leads, tutors and teachers.  If you haven’t yet attended, we warmly invite you to join us or share this with your colleagues.

Male mental health concerns are at an all-time high. Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) is now higher amongst boys than girls for the first time ever.  There is a widening academic attainment gap between boys and girls, an increased accessibility of porn, reports of more overt misogynistic behaviour and harassment in schools, and the widespread influence of people like Andrew Tate and the INCEL movement… It’s no wonder boys are under pressure!

With harmful voices and influences being unprecedented in their reach, we face a significant challenge to protect, educate and empower our boys to develop into well-rounded, mentally healthy and respectful young men.  This webinar will help uncover and understand these current issues and provide proactive strategies in order to address them.

Key learning objectives include:

• Understanding the current landscape and the impact upon boys and men
• How to teach boys to recognise harmful messages online
• Significant messages we need to convey and how to do it
• Navigating tricky conversations and avoiding putting boys on the defensive
• How to inspire boys to make a positive impact
