Talk explores:

Are you stuck in a cycle of misunderstanding, miscommunication and worry about the young men in your life? Do you want to support boys and men in your life in a way that is supportive, engaging and effective?

Over 90 minutes online you will:

  • understand how different hormones cause significant differences between female and male mental health

  • explore how to modify your approach to make it more engaging and supportive to boys and men

  • have the opportunity to ask questions in a safeguarded environment.

After attending this workshop, you will be empowered to:

  • use words and phrases that help communication with young men

  • provide long term engaging support to the young men you care about, and develop the ability to have difficult conversations with young men and achieve positive outcomes.

There will also be a Q+A session after the talk, where Ryan invites delegates to ask any questions you may have. If you feel that you’d like a particular question to be addressed during this session, please email it to contactus@theolliefoundation.org prior to the event.

Who should attend?

This workshop is designed for mums with sons and will be of particular benefit to anyone who is a single parent or is concerned about the mental health of a young man they care about.
