UMN Men’s Support and Dialogue Group Seeks Connection
In their first semester, the UMN Men’s Support and Dialogue Group had between 6 and 10 attendees come together once a week to sit in a confidential circle and discuss topics like masculine norms, dating, body image, family, sex, and more. They are in a tangential partnership with the University’s Aurora Center for Advocacy and Education, a program that provides a 24-hour sexual assault, stalking, etc. helpline, alongside an education program where trained student-volunteers present on topics like healthy relationships, bystander intervention, and more.
