BAM! Boys Advocacy and Mentoring [EPUB ebook] 
A Leader’s Guide to Facilitating Strengths-Based Groups for Boys – Helping Boys Make Better Contact by Making Better Contact with Them

The BAM! Boys Advocacy and Mentoring program provides the first guidebook for group facilitators who want to lead preventative boys groups designed to foster communication skills and emotional connections. Based on years of research and refined over the course of countless sessions run by the authors, the program has been field-tested and tailored for use either in the school setting or outside. Over a series of group sessions, participants are encouraged to understand their emotions and interpersonal interactions without losing a sense of ‘maleness’ as a result of emotional growth and communication with peers about personal issues. The activities are designed to be engaging across age groups, and the individual exercises and program structure can be modified to fit into any existing school- or community-based mentoring system. The guidebook contains all of the information and tools a facilitator needs in order to implement and maintain these boys groups.
