Join the ManEnough? Program Information Session! The information session is open to all individuals. We know that men are often faced with the question “are you man enough?” This question usually brings to mind images of boys or men challenging the “manliness” of their peers and encouraging them to measure up to a stereotypical idea of what a man should be. However, it is this stereotypical concept of what it means to be a man that is what really needs to be challenged. Without doing so these ideas contribute to harmful attitudes and beliefs that allow gender inequality and violence to continue. ManEnough? program is offered by the Calgary Communities Against Sexual Abuse. Through the “ManEnough?” Program men will have a series of conversations in which they can explore what it means to be a “man;” examine and understand attitudes and beliefs that contribute to gender inequality; and embrace the power they have to influence a culture accepting of violence. The program will be held on Thursday nights from 6:00pm to 9:00pm beginning Thursday, March 10th, 2016 with sessions taking place weekly for eight weeks. The program registration is limited to male identified individuals.
