About the program
The Men's Project, launched in 2017, aims to reduce violence and harmful behaviors among boys and men, promoting wellbeing and safe communities.
Our vision is for good men, respectful relationships, and safe communities.
Our approach includes:
- Research to understand behaviors and attitudes related to violence, child sexual abuse, and wellbeing among men and boys.
- Promoting positive gender norms and building skills to prevent violence.
- Developing innovative strategies to break cycles of violence and harmful behaviors.
Current priorities involve understanding perpetration through research, supporting those working with men and boys, developing early intervention approaches, and advocating for systemic change.
With over 45 years of experience, the Men's Project builds on Jesuit Social Services' longstanding commitment to engaging with boys and men in trouble, aiming to reduce violence and improve wellbeing.
