The Boys Are Not Alright: The Intersection of Masculine Identity and Children's Mental Health
Clinicians often work with male-identifying clients, so it is important that they have an understanding of sociocultural concepts of masculinity, how they relate to children’s mental health, and successful counseling strategies when working with school-aged, male-identifying children. This training will help practitioners gain a deeper understanding of male identity development during the school-age years and be able to identify intersectional challenges that school-aged, male-identifying children face. Counseling skills and clinical interventions when working with this population will also be explored. This training will include a mixture of lecture, discussion, PowerPoint slides, and polls.
