Hi Maddy,
A few things:
-This person could be good to email updated fact sheet too and they have the below blog which has a pretty good following I think. We could also think about promoting their post and tagging them.
christoph...@gmail.com<mailto:christopher.pepper@gmail.com>
-I might also send the new fact sheets to menengage-me...@googlegroups.com<mailto:menengage-member-listserv@googlegroups.com> and namen-...@googlegroups.com<mailto:namen-members@googlegroups.com>.
Thanks!

Hi Readers!
When Joanna Schroeder<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/open.substack.com/users/6976141-joanna-schroeder?utm_source=mentions__;!!Mi0JBg!N0hRcEhY2xosdO02QBXXVrI79o-PiLZ8ylIGHHfW7aR8_jZBuS4aPlB6jGl1fauMuBviQkoD8IsXAJVb8UU7EqNMP046$>
and I sat down to plan our book Talk To Your Boys<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/substack.com/redirect/afb40442-b9d6-4d53-930c-20c653601993?j=eyJ1IjoiM21wNG4yIn0.HU85yEXWLuU00W28S3wyE34odLqrUMBxZ7AFu94eQWc__;!!Mi0JBg!N0hRcEhY2xosdO02QBXXVrI79o-PiLZ8ylIGHHfW7aR8_jZBuS4aPlB6jGl1fauMuBviQkoD8IsXAJVb8UU7Euj9TNj5$>,
it became clear pretty early that we would need to have a chapter on boys and school. In that chapter, we explore why so many boys struggle with or actively dislike school, and we take a look at the steps some schools have taken to become more “boy friendly.”
I also share what I’ve learned from running Young Men’s Health Groups in San Francisco schools, and why I think every school should have a boys’ group that helps boys connect with one another and express their emotions.
Since the book came out, I’ve been getting a lot of calls from schools to talk to teachers, parents, and students - people are recognizing that boys need some extra help right now, and they are reaching out for support. I’m so grateful!

I’ve also been thrilled to hear from people who are using resources I share to spur conversations in in their own communies.
One example comes from Rae Merrigan<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/substack.com/redirect/3affa21f-901b-48dc-8b82-d0ed51bd99de?j=eyJ1IjoiM21wNG4yIn0.HU85yEXWLuU00W28S3wyE34odLqrUMBxZ7AFu94eQWc__;!!Mi0JBg!N0hRcEhY2xosdO02QBXXVrI79o-PiLZ8ylIGHHfW7aR8_jZBuS4aPlB6jGl1fauMuBviQkoD8IsXAJVb8UU7EsBz7rTU$>,

to help us discuss how we can create safe spaces for boys in schools to connect with role models and discuss what masculinity means to them. I’m hoping to get a boys group started in my school soon!”

He responded to a “call to action” I made during a conference presentation on boys a few years ago by jumping into action in a real way. He’s now in his second year leading a study group for educators in his Illinois school on teaching and supporting boys.
I think this issue of boys and school is super important, and I hope we keep finding new ways to discuss it. In this edition of Teen Health Today, I’m sharing three videos that all have something to do with boys and school, but they are quite different in their
approaches and perspectives. I hope will get you thinking, talking, and connecting.
Big Love,
Christopher

is a conversation about challenging harmful masculinity norms in the classroom and equipping educators with the tools to do so.
Despite progress toward gender equality, harmful gender norms continue to shape young people’s lives. For boys, these norms force them into a narrow, tough, emotionless mold that isolates them, harms their mental health, and increases rates of violence. Boys
who don’t conform face ridicule, rejection, and punishment, further reinforcing the power dynamics that fuel gender-based violence.
With students spending hours each day in school, educators play a crucial role in challenging gender norms. They have the opportunity to foster critical
