Making Sense of Senseless Violence Online Course
Making Sense of Senseless Violence is designed for parents, educators, coaches, and youth workers who believe in better possibilities for the next generation of men, but also know the realities of male-led violence.
If you’ve felt the weight of yet another news headline about a mass shooting, act of sexual violence, domination or exploitation, this course is for you.
- One module broken down into three key lessons.
- A deep dive into research on the connections between masculinity and violence, using school-based mass shootings as a focal point for understanding.
- Help to answer questions like: “How do boys learn to be boys?” and “How do I respond to toxic masculinity?” and “How can I help boys to connect more meaningfully with each other?”
- Tools to speak about violence in a way that both acknowledges its connection to cultural norms of masculinity, and focuses on empowering boys rather than vilifying them.
- Interactive exercises, digital multimedia and prompts for further reflection.
- Additional resources and recommendations for further readings.
Our goal is to equip you to hold space for forward-thinking conversations about positive masculinity, to provide boys with opportunities to gain clarity about the kinds of young men they want to be—the antidote to the toxic representation we see all too often in the media.
