School Workshops & Talks
- Boys, Masculinity and Mental Health
M-Path delivers engaging school workshops and talks on boys’ mental health, masculinity, empathy and healthy relationships for students aged 11–18 across the UK.
Our evidence-informed sessions help schools engage boys and young men in conversations about mental health, masculinity, misogyny, relationships and behaviour without blame or shame. Through discussion, practical exercises and honest conversation, we help students develop greater empathy, emotional awareness and understanding of themselves and others.
Our workshops are designed for pupils of all genders and can support PSHE, pastoral provision and wider school wellbeing programmes. We have worked with schools and colleges across the UK and Europe, engaging thousands of young people for over a decade.We know that this generation of students are ready to meet the challenge faced by a changing world and we’ve seen first-hand how transformational this work can be when boys are met with compassion and understanding.
What we do
The talk
This is the ‘buy-in’ to the work. The audience will initially learn about the facilitator's personal story and what brought them into men's mental health and masculinity development. They'll then discuss the emotional challenges facing men and boys today, before exploring how broadening our views on healthy masculinity and moving away from terms like toxic masculinity can help develop men's sense of self, self-esteem, and well-being. In turn, this approach will benefit adolescent development and contribute to healthier relationships and a more balanced society.
Workshops
Pupils will then be guided through a series of interactive workshops on key issues of empathy, mental health and healthy masculinity. These sessions encourage pupils to reflect on their own experiences and the experiences of others, fostering a deeper understanding of adolescent mental health. The workshops are structured to complement each other, building on themes that help attendees better understand men's emotional well-being, masculinity development, and how to support boys' engagement in a changing society.
Staff CPD
We also offer a variety of CPD workshops and Inset talks on a range of subjects, including masculinity, men's mental health, and understanding the 'manosphere'. Staff will leave with practical tools and tips on how to meet boys' emotional needs, connect with them in their current reality, and encourage them to continue the work done in the workshops on healthy masculinity.
Parents
These sessions can be challenging for many pupils, and we understand that this important work doesn't end when the school day finishes. We invite parents into this conversation by hosting online webinars that help them understand what their children were taught during the workshops on masculinity and mental health. Our goal is to equip parents with strategies to better engage with these issues and continue the work at home.
