Taking the recent report from the UK's Issues Affecting Men and Boys APPG to start a discussion. From the report:

A key underlying issue that has been raised both in this inquiry and also in the APPG’s previous two reports, is the pervasive male-victim blaming narrative. It is clear that the phrase 'toxic masculinity' is damaging and adds additional stigma and barriers to male help-seeking.

This damaging narrative suggests that masculinity itself is at fault and that, if men would only talk more, this would solve their problems.

The previous two APPG reports eschewed this deficit-model and this report continues with this same approach. The key is that whilst there is a need for men to talk, and this is increasingly the case, the responsibility should not primarily rest on their shoulders. It should primarily rest on society, employers and professionals to understand better the ways men communicate, and then to listen, ask and act.

This is further recognition that we need to quickly move past the 'men should talk more' narrative. But what would be helpful and constructive? What are some of the tactics that you believe, or have seen, that might encourage male help-seeking and foster positive masculinity?
