Creating Engaging Environments For Boys

 I specialize in teaching adults to create engaging environments for boys and young men to support them to feel connected to the peers and adults around them.  

 

Between the ages of 11 and 19, the journey to manhood is inevitably fraught with challenge.  It’s these challenges specifically that are meant to initiate our boys into men.  If they feel disconnected, unsupported, isolated, and lack the capacity for self reflection, compassion and affirmation, these challenges will likely have them believing that they are alone in their struggles, are not good enough, and result in acting out, addiction, self isolation or even self harm.

 

In a time of environmental instability, the wake of the MeToo movement and COVID-19 pandemic, boys NEED well facilitated environments where they are supported, and invited to share their stories, feelings, and beliefs with their peers and trusted adults, and to explore this inner terrain together!
