Men’s mental health is in crisis, and our usual equity conversations aren’t reaching the men who need them most. Many feel blamed or left out, while online spaces rush in with simple but dangerous answers about masculinity and power.

In recognition of World Health Day, this session invites a more honest and compassionate conversation about what boys and men are experiencing today and how we can respond in ways that truly help.

Together, we will explore three key questions:

What is really going on for boys and men right now?
Where have our efforts to support wellbeing and inclusion unintentionally fallen short?
How can families, communities and organizations move forward in ways that strengthen connection, resilience and hope?

You will leave with practical ideas to affirm men’s worth, reduce polarization, and engage men as partners in building healthier, more just communities.
