Healing Men's Pain Curriculum helps male-identified participants create a vision of the men they want to be and provides them with the awareness, tools, and confidence to achieve that vision. Each of the 18 two-hour, cofacilitated sessions includes activities, exercises, and experiential opportunities enabling each participant to connect with the content on a personal level. The program is wide-ranging and encompasses a variety of topics to help participants develop increased self-awareness to enhance their relationships. Participants explore their childhood, adolescent, and adult trauma; relational struggles, particularly issues of healthy attachment; and other issues that male-identified individuals often experience.
The material in Healing Men's Pain Curriculum will stretch both participants and facilitators alike. The sessions are designed to take a deep and comprehensive look at everything that blocks men from being the best men they can be. The curriculum speaks to all learning styles through the use of art, physical movement, and roleplays.Participants are given additional learning opportunities in the form of assignments to complete between sessions.
These assignments build upon the roleplays and in-session practice to help participants translate the material directly into their own lives.
