THE BOY CRISIS IN CANADA

Dr. Warren Farrell, the father of the men's movement, addresses why our boys are struggling and what we can do about it. The presentation covers the declining achievement of boys in grade school and post-secondary education, the increase in boy's mental health issues, including suicide and both the victimization and perpetration of violence, and the role of the father-child relationship in either exacerbating or resolving many of these problems.

Friday, November 16, 2018 University of Toronto

Hosted by the U of T Men's Issues Awareness Society

Sponsored by the Canadian Association for Equality, the Gene C. Colman Family Law Centre, the Men's and Women's Summit on Masculinity, MDI and Motomo Nation

Background
