This session delves into the often overlooked topic of how men navigate the realm of wellness and self-care, which is traditionally dominated by female perspectives. We will explore how societal expectations and gender stereotypes shape the way men perceive and engage with self-care practices. By examining these barriers, you hope to gain insights into fostering a more inclusive and supportive environment for male self-care within educational settings.

Furthermore, this session offers practical insights into promoting self-care among male students, who may find it challenging to engage with these practices, particularly in their youth. By addressing the unique needs and experiences of young men, attendees will gain valuable strategies for creating inclusive spaces where male students are encouraged to embrace self-care as an essential aspect of their personal growth and academic success.
