Boys' education, father education, men's counselling, violence, addiction and crisis intervention, trans, gay and bi counselling, therapy and men's health issues, sexual counselling, solutions to family and compatibility conflicts and much more. The growing field of men's work has become much more differentiated and professionalised over the past two decades. However, provision is still patchy and often precarious.
How can we achieve a nationwide system of solidly anchored men's work and counselling? How can gender and masculinity-reflective skills be implemented in the existing counselling services and structures and strengthened among the counsellors themselves?
The international conference is being jointly organised by the national umbrella organisations of the four German-speaking countries:
- Bundesforum Männer e.V.
- infoMen
- DMÖ Umbrella organisation for men's, boys' and fathers' work in Austria
- männer.ch Umbrella organisation for Swiss men's and fathers' organisations
- The programme and further information will follow in the next few weeks.
- Information and enquiries: konferenz-wien@bundesforum-maenner.de
