This past August I had the pleasure of attending the 2018 National Sexual Assault Conference in Anaheim with frequent contributor and member of our Board of Directors, Brian Heilman (also representing his work with Promundo), along with Aapta Garg, Promundo Program Officer, and Elizabeth Miller, Director of the Division of Adolescent and Young Adult Medicine, Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
Together we presented the workshop, Be Bold Not Bogus: Fostering New Masculinities & Preventing Sexual Violence with High School-Age Youth. You can now watch the full 90-minute presentation via CALCASA and PreventConnect.
Presentation description: Join practitioners and scholars working with high school age boys on initiatives that aim to foster new masculinities. Presenters will explore lessons from implementing programming to reshape teenage boys’ understanding of what it means to be a man. Lessons learned from one school-based and one community-based program will be shared. Committing to transparency and honesty regarding successes and setbacks, presenters intend for all attendees to gain actionable insights for improving dissemination and implementation of gender transformative programs for youth.
Bios for all of the conference presenters can be found here, and the PreventConnect page dedicated to our presentation can be found here.
