Parent sessions
Promoting Healthy Masculinity:
Parent webinar
For parents and carers of boys and young people of all genders
Our Parent Webinar is designed to help parents and carers understand and respond to the messages boys and young people are receiving about masculinity, and to support them in growing into confident, caring and emotionally resilient people.
Promoting gender inclusivity and addressing masculinity is key to building a healthy and productive workplace...
Yet many businesses overlook the impact of unhealthy masculinity and its influence on workplace dynamics.
Understanding masculinity
​
What is masculinity? What makes it unhealthy or healthy? This webinar explores how ideas about masculinity are shaped, where they come from, and how they impact the emotional and social development of boys and young people today.
​
The context of masculinity in the 21st century
We’ll explore the wider social context shaping boys’ beliefs and behaviours—including the influence of social media, online influencers, “the Manosphere”, and pathways to online radicalisation. We’ll also discuss the challenges many boys and young men face, from mental health struggles to peer pressure and gender expectations.
​
Promoting Healthy Masculinity at Home
You’ll gain practical strategies for:
​
-
Encouraging healthy, respectful ideas about masculinity
-
Promoting positive male role models
-
Modelling empathy, care and emotional openness
-
Responding to harmful attitudes or behaviours in everyday life
We’ll also share further reading and resources to support ongoing conversations at home.
Our Healthy Masculinity in the Workplace training gives businesses the tools to promote healthy masculinity within the workforce, as well as developing leadership styles that balance strength with empathy and support, aiming towards more effective management styles and more inclusive environments.
This training creates an environment where all employees feel valued, respected, and empowered to succeed.
Through this interactive session, parents and carers will leave with greater confidence in supporting their young people to be emotionally aware, inclusive, and true to themselves—while feeling equipped to challenge unhealthy messages when they arise.
