DRJ is excited about sponsoring and hosting a two day training July 16 & 17, Lead our Reducing Sexism and Violence Program
Maine Boys to Men has 25 years of experience as an organization in helping boys reach their full potential in cultivating leadership, self-discovery, and self-reflection in order to challenge sexism and stand up as leaders to prevent, interrupt, and ultimately end gender bias, harassment, abuse and violence.
This training shares their knowledge with us so that we may reach the youth we work with here in Hancock County. This training is ideal for educators, administrators, social workers, clinicians, parole officers, parents, domestic violence advocates, counselors, athletic coaches, facilitators, and volunteers… ideally, anyone working with youth!
The Training covers six topics over two days:
- Building Support & Safety – “Why boys?”
- Gender Stereotypes
- Empathy & Consent
- Beyond the Binary & Narrow Masculinity
- Upstander Intervention
- Facilitation & Storytelling Techniques
There is a $195 fee for the two day training and you may register directly on the Maine Boys to Men sign-up webpage. We are working on finding ways to help defray some of the cost for individuals through a sliding scale. Please let us know if you would need economic support to participate.
