"Men & Healing" presents Day 1: Truth Telling - the Case Statement for Addressing Men's Trauma
THIS IS THE PRE-REQUISITE FOR THE OTHER TWO TRAINING PROGRAMS IN THE SERIES.
Truth Telling is the introductory crash course training on men’s developmental trauma, with a particular research lens on childhood sexual trauma. It offers a primer on the theories and conceptual approaches to working with male survivors – a necessary precursor to those who want to therapeutically engage with this population. The day starts with an introduction to a male-centered approach to psychotherapy – an orientation that speaks directly to men’s subjective experiences. The training then explores male psychology as well as understanding of how this “coding” intersects with the lives of men facing trauma. An overview of current research on both male sexual abuse and assault follows. After an analysis of how trauma commences, we examine the post-traumatic response of how it bleeds into men’s lives. The day finishes with a conceptual lens to the recovery process, with video testimonies serving as expressions of healing.
Truth Telling is a prerequisite for participants who wish to engage in further training concerning intervention strategies with this population.

Day 3: Re-Visioning Men’s Anger, Rage & Violence, This program will be IN PERSON & has a Prerequisite
Day 3:
Re-Visioning Men’s Anger, Rage & Violence [Prerequisite: Day 2: Therapeutic
Engagement].
A one-day
training on trauma-informed engagement with men.
Re-Visioning
Men’s Anger, Rage & Violence is based on trauma-informed research examining
the links between male childhood abuse and intimate partner violence (IPV).
While many practitioners are aware that most men who are prone to rage and
partner violence have a significant history of childhood abuse, few
intervention programs are derived from this research and application.
This training
focuses on the clinical implications of adopting a trauma-oriented
understanding of IPV. We will fearlessly challenge the dominant discourse of
“power and control” model of understanding through comprehensive picture of the
inner world of men who are assaultive. Using a trauma lens, this training
arguably offers a more nuanced, more respectful and more promising approach to
clinical interventions with this population, whether through individual or
group intervention.
