Imagine a Man
Imagine a Man is a research and evidence-based initiative that supports boys and young men to develop healthy, positive masculinities.
Through practical tools, resources, and activities, we help practitioners create brave spaces where young people can challenge harmful stereotypes, build respectful relationships, and make positive choices.
Reframing the narrative
Our ongoing work is about flipping the script from ‘toxic’ masculinity to ‘positive’ masculinity .
We want boys to have a narrative that they can get behind.
