Understanding What Boys and Men Carry, and Where Healing Can Begin

New Direction Consulting invites professionals, leaders, teachers, healthcare workers, justice workers and community partners to a full-day, culturally grounded and trauma-aware professional development workshop.

The Men’s Healing Journey Experience helps participants understand the experiences that can shape boys and men throughout life. The journey begins with the first five years of childhood and explores the influence of family, safety, attachment, belonging, trauma, identity and culture. It then follows the journey through education, mental wellness, relationships, fatherhood, justice involvement, reintegration, healing, accountability and leadership.

This is an interactive learning experience that combines professional information, guided reflection, discussion and experiential activities.
