Certificate: Healthy Masculinity Training Institute

This January, I participated in Men Can Stop Rape’s Healthy Masculinity Training Institute to learn the theories and develop the skills that have shaped the Healthy Masculinity Action Project (HMAP). HMAP is a national multi-year initiative designed to raise the visibility of healthy masculinity and build a new generation of male leaders across the country who model non-violent, emotionally healthy masculinity, serving as positive change-makers in society.

Through three days of discussions about theory, interactive group exercises, role-playing, and multi-media presentations, the training institute presented participants with a framework to positively construct masculinity and to motivate men’s engagement in challenging the attitudes and behaviors that support violence against girls and women.
