Adam McCormick, PhD, MSSW

This interactive webinar explores how harmful masculine norms intersect with trauma, shaping the emotional development, relational patterns, and coping strategies of boys and young men. Participants will examine the links between masculine socialization and outcomes such as dating violence, school-based aggression, risky sexual behaviors, and help-seeking avoidance. Through the lens of trauma-informed practice, the workshop provides social workers with ethical, practical strategies for engaging boys and young men in healing-centered work. Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of masculinity's social construction and tools to promote emotional insight, relational safety, and resilience in their practice.

To earn CE credit, social workers must log in at the scheduled time, attend the entire course, and complete an online course evaluation. Certificates of completion will be emailed within 10 business days of course completion.
