Workshop for boys
Level One – Challenging Stereotypes
Shifting the narrative around masculinity to embrace vulnerability and connection
‘Young men who conform with traditional stereotypes are shown to exhibit higher rates of suicide, risk taking behaviour, and acts of violence. However, despite the societal prevalence of traditional male behaviour, 70% of actually don’t agree with the stereotype!
Changing how young men view friendship, transforming it from surface-level camaraderie to a deeper, more emotionally supportive bond, leads to healthier mental well-being.
By redefining strength as emotional resilience and the ability to care for one another, young men feel more comfortable being open about their challenges.’
Level One
Challenging Stereotypes Workshop
Workshop
Through student-led discussion, we highlight the negative impacts of traditional help-seeking culture and the avoidance of vulnerability among men in WA.
This workshop provides the opportunity for moments of courage, where student vulnerability re-shapes the room’s understanding that seeking help and offering support are signs of strength.
By fostering a culture of emotional openness with their mates, young men feel empowered to share their struggles and seek support without fear of judgment.
This program encourages emotional expression and facilitates courageous conversations, so that young men can support one another and build stronger, more compassionate relationships with their mates.
