ABSTRACT

The Building a Better Man group syllabus is a stand-alone intervention that is suitable for all age ranges and settings. Implemented independent of a larger framework, it will deliver all the key educational points that encourage sustained violence reduction and increased prosocial behavior while honoring the positive aspects of male socialization and self-improvement in an empirically driven manner. Hence, it can be incorporated into the overall psychoeducational and/or therapeutic programming of a variety of settings from YMCAs to adult detention facilities.
