Canada is creating its 1st National Men & Boys' Health Strategy & Trevor Mayoh was at the federal announcement. "Loneliness, silence, not knowing how to ask for help, these aren't personal failures, they're downstream effects of what we've taught men & boys to be." 📚👉🏻 buff.ly/SNBc61b
From Voice Male Weekly:
90%+ of financial sextortion victims are #boys 13-17. The most likely deepfake nude victim is young teen boys. Sports betting ($150B) targets boys & young men.
We built 3 workshops to meet boys where these issues are happening. Now booking Fall 2026 buff.ly/FMArCnb #Edusky

"I'm Becoming More Like Them" buff.ly/mP4zydv
Logan moved to Florida. He left behind friends on his street, breakfast before school, & trust. The new private school is built for achievement. One of the most significant changes? The depth of his relationships with peers.
Boys aren't destined for isolation. They want connection. This week's newsletter explores what gets in the way & how we can change that. #RaisingBoys #PositiveMasculinity #EduSky #BoysMentalHealth

The False Dichotomy of 'You're Either #Sexist or #Feminist' 👉🏻 buff.ly/1XykvRO
"When folks see sexism, they're faced with a choice: maintain the status quo, or change their beliefs & behaviours & challenge systems. It's black & white in many ways, but in others, quite grey."

#Masculinity – a crisis of belonging?
"Many men are carrying grief they've never been given permission to name—grief for lost security, dignity, futures & recognition. This grief is political & exploited."
