About this Event
The Manosphere: Why it Appeals to Adolescent Boys and How to Talk About It
Join us for an in-person event to learn more about the Manosphere, its history, risk factors - and how we can support boys to understand and challenge what they encounter online.
Louis Theroux's recent documentary opened many of our eyes to the attitudes and behaviours expressed within the Manosphere. This talk, led by Cody Sollows, a practitioner working directly with young men and boys, explores how online narratives about masculinity are shaping teenage boys, and, importantly, what practical steps adults can take to help them understand and challenge these influences.
This public event is aimed at parents and professionals working with adolescents and families, though anyone with an interest in the issue will find it informative and helpful. It will include a talk followed by audience Q&A. Please note that some video content will reference views that some may find challenging.
