Our goal is to help keep you informed about what’s going on in your community, and connect you with programs and resources that meet your needs. That’s why we’re working diligently to build collaborations with all of the key stakeholders in our community:
Male Engagement
The statistics are pretty clear: men are lagging behind in virtually all wellness dimensions, but most notably in education, physical, emotional, and social. Yes, there remain some key disparities that favor men in general, namely professional opportunities, domestic abuse, but it can also be true that men need help in other areas.
This is particularly true for black & brown males in underserved communities. The prospects for men of color and at the lower end of the socioeconomic scale are discouraging to say the least. Statisically, this group is significantly more likely to be dead (by violence or preventable health causes), incarcerated, unemployed or under-employed that their female counterparts.
Why I'm Still Learning About Manhood
There are a number of systemic and cultural challenges for these disparities, and those challenges require intentional effort to resolve them. That’s why male engagement is one of our top priorities, and why we’re focusing much of energies on engagement and research.
