Findings highlight the value of training and reflective practice early on for psychology trainees, to address any biases about "the way men are" and what masculinity means in therapy. Thankfully @Movember provides just the training for the job with 🙌.

In many cases their experiences did not match these expectations, as therapists highlighted examples of gratifying work with help-seeking men, particularly where huge therapeutic gains can be made in a short space of time.

Drawing on analysis of in-depth interviews with 12 clinical psychology trainees, we found that often therapists approached male clients expecting reluctance to engage, emotional distance, and generally 'difficult male clients'.

work out how to meet these needs with positive messaging from the inside out. These young men are often disenfranchised and turning away from mainstream media for a reason, and if we fail to understand that reason, we have little hope of shifting the online narrative. 3/3.

Pleased to see this! We cannot expect schools to shoulder the responsibility here. Whatever boys are taught in schools could easily be undone through exposure to hours of content normalising violence against women on TikTok. 1/3
