In the era of #MeToo, women are finding platforms to reclaim their lives and their sexualities. But what is happening for men as they navigate blind in seas of defensiveness? The current cultural narrative warns against “toxic masculinity,” but there is little discussion of healthy masculinity. Among male college students, there is evidence of rising rates of anxiety, depression, suicide, and trauma. Further, 50 years after the sexual revolution, young male adults still report sexual worry and confusion. This intermediate workshop addresses interventions for young male emerging adults in the closely related areas of mental and sexual health. Original webcast date: August 11, 2021

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe at least two mental health challenges facing college-age men in the age of COVID-19.
  • Explain at least two challenges college-age men face concerning healthy sexuality in 2021.
  • Name at least two useful interventions when working with young male emerging adults around issues pertaining to healthy sexuality.
