Course Description

This will be a live webinar on Zoom on December 8 from 6-8 PM Central Time. If you cannot attend live, pre-register to view the recording once it becomes available on December 9.

Psychotherapy with men is more complex than ever. From the “Me Too” movement, to the rise of “Toxic Masculinity” and the APA’s updated guidelines for working with boys and men, therapists are faced with evolving challenges in clinical practice. 

Social shifts—like the rising mental health crises, increasing suicide rates, and the Hypermasculine influences on young men of online subcultures like “Red Pill,” “GymBro”—the Manospere, are reshaping how we might need to approach therapy with males.  Add to this the struggles of quarter-life and midlife crises, and it’s clear that clinicians must consistently rethink how they engage male clients and those that love them. 

This workshop provides social workers with the latest research, real-world case studies, and evidence-based strategies for working with men. Learn how to refine your clinical assessments, adapt treatment techniques, and support long-term healing through practical, and various gender-sensitive approaches.  Discover insights from local women clinicians, explore emerging best practices, and gain actionable tools to better support the thriving of your male clients.

Learning Objectives

  • Utilize creative techniques to support male clients to develop greater emotional awareness, fluency of expression, and relational accountability.
  • Understand how to use an integrative model to assess, treat, and serve men for long-term therapy gains .
  • Learn to use imagery, story, and archetypes in session to transform therapeutic concepts from abstract to concrete, to motivate clients personal growth.
