Men's
Empowerment Program:
Exploring Masculinity and Relationships
The Men’s Group is an 8-week Empowerment Program to help men explore
their past and present relationships. Attention will be paid to
the myths of masculinity as well as negative messages that challenge
men as they seek emotional maturity and intimacy in their lives.
Using lecture, movie clips and group discussion, participants will
learn how to develop and strengthen relationship skills to foster
healthy connections with others. The goals of the Men’s Group are:
- To improve communication skills;
- To reduce negative interactional patterns;
- To increase the ability to sustain emotional attachment;
- To understand the impact of gender on the development of emotional
bonds.
The Men’s Group emphasizes that the adult experience of feeling
and acting like a man is set into motion in childhood. During this
time, the availability of a secure, loving bonding relationship
is important because it is within this ‘attachment relationship’
that a boy evolves into an emotionally healthy, empathic man.
The topics covered during the program are:
- The male attachment experience;
- Exploring gender similarities and differences;
- Understanding emotions;
- Fathers and sons: exploring masculinity;
- Loneliness and depression: the male experience;
- Male identity: rescuer, protector, warrior;
- Mother and sons: closeness without fusion;
- Forgiveness: cultivating compassion.
Cost: $395 includes book and hand-outs
