Course Description: This workshop explores how harmful masculine norms intersect with trauma, shaping the emotional development, relational patterns, and coping strategies of boys and young men. Participants will examine the links between masculine socialization and outcomes such as dating violence, school-based aggression, risky sexual behaviors, and help-seeking avoidance. Through the lens of trauma-informed practice, the workshop provides social workers with ethical, practical strategies for engaging boys and young men in healing-centered work. Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of masculinity’s social construction and tools to promote emotional insight, relational safety, and resilience in their practice.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe how masculinity is socially constructed and reinforced across systems and cultures.
- Analyze the impact of masculine norms on trauma, intimate partner violence, substance use, and help-seeking behaviors.
- Identify ethical and practical strategies for addressing trauma and promoting healing in boys and young men.
