Healthy Masculinity Training

Healthy Masculinity Action Project

The Healthy Masculinity Action Project is a national, grassroots movement to eradicate the harmful expectations and stereotypes our society teaches boys about what it means to be a man. A two year initiative, HMAP aims to build a new generation of male leaders who will model strength without violence and serve as positive change makers in society — taking their communities from awareness to action.

The workshop will be held October 23-26, 2017 at Two Rivers United Methodist Church in Rock Island, Illinois.

Biblical Foundations in Healthy Masculinity

HMAP is a nationally recognized movement that has largely focused on college campuses. For the first time, HMAP is partnering with the United Methodist Church to provide a theological and faith-based grounding for its work. The three-day training is hosted in by the Illinois Great Rivers Annual Conference Board of Church and Society and the General Board of Church and Society of The United Methodist Church.

Equipping local leaders

Attendees of the training will learn how to teach others about healthy masculinity from a biblical perspective. Newly trained leaders will be given solid techniques to bring these concepts back to their local congregations. After attending the training, there will be a follow-up community that forms for mutual support and accountability as the movement for healthy masculinity grows.
