Learn simple but effective strategies to support the boys and young men in your life and work with this fascinating talk from coach, author and TEDx speaker Ryan Parke. Drawing from recent scientific insights and his experience coaching men and mentoring boys, Ryan will share practice-proven methods for supporting men and boys with their mental health.
Whether you want to support male students, colleagues or family members, Ryan will reveal:

- How hormones may impact communication styles, causing boys and young men to ‘shut down’ during important conversations
- A practice proven 3-step strategy for having supportive conversations with males
- Recommended word swaps to encourage open conversations

Featuring groundbreaking new concepts, paired with real coaching conversations from Ryan’s practice, How To Help Him has received phenomenal feedback from educators, counsellors, parents and pastoral leaders. You will leave with new tools allowing you to communicate with males in a way that is more inclusive, more engaging and more effective.
