CFTD 841 - Men’s Mental Health

1
While there is a shared need to connect to self and others, the differences between men and women and how they connect are distinct in some ways. Clinical understanding related to the needs of each gender should not be based solely on assumptions and personal experiences but should also include an integration of human development knowledge and empirical research. This seminar will focus on key mental health issues specific to men. Topics for consideration will include men’s developmental tasks across the lifespan, men’s mental health risks and challenges, an examination of how men function within intimate partnerships and family systems, and key clinical considerations for supporting the well-being of men. Diversity considerations will also be incorporated across topics.
