Support Group for Men

Tue, 13 Feb 2024 11:05:24 -0500

This is a semester-long group intended to serve the mental health needs of students who identify as men. It provides a safe space for students to discuss the unique challenges of navigating the norms and expectations of being perceived as male. These norms and expectations can be highly enforced by society, but there's rarely any guidance on how to enact them or understanding of why they are enforced. This group can be a space where men and masculine presenting students can ask questions they've otherwise been afraid to, acknowledge challenges living up to expectations, and support one another in finding ways forward. The goal is for members to develop meaningful connections with others, find community, and get support regarding their challenges.

This group will take place virtually on Tuesdays from 2 - 3:15 p.m. beginning February 27.

Due to licensure laws, all students must be located in the state of Maryland during the group.
