Men & Collective Impact

As part of the Men & movement, Bluerock Social Impact Partners is supporting an expanding network of resources and supports for men searching for tools, resources and supports so they can be better for themselves, their kids and their families.

If you are a professional or represent an agency working in this space, we’d love to talk to you about being involved in our advisory groups, or on our agency council.

We are also host a growing community of inquiry and practices to dig into what works, what doesn’t and how we need to think differently about men’s mental, relational, and emotional well being -so that we can transform ourselves, our lives and our communities. Together.

Keynotes & Workshops

We need to think differently about men’s mental, relational, and emotional well being -so that we can transform ourselves, our lives and our communities. Together.

Invite us to come share what we’ve learned or engage in an inquiry process to understand how to better engage men in your community - whether as mentors and coaches or for healing and positive contributions in family, community and beyond.
