Men's toolbox
As part of the implementation of regional and local action plans in men's health and well-being, practice settings have expressed the need for concrete tools to support stakeholders in adapting their practice to male realities. It is with this in mind that the Men's toolbox project was developed, under the direction of Janie Houle, Ph.D., professor in the psychology department of the University of Quebec in Montreal and of the Vitalité Laboratory. A total of six tools, in the form of short synthetic texts, were produced.
Tool for men
How to Pick Yourself Up After a Setback
Tool for relatives of men
How to Help a Man Close to You Access Support Services
Tools for practitioners
Good Practices for Working with Men
How to React to Aggressiveness
Working with Men from Immigrant Backgrounds
Working with Sexually Diverse Men (part 1)
Working with Sexually Diverse Men (part 2)
