Held every January and July in DC, Men Can Stop Rape's (MCSR) most comprehensive Strength Training - "From Theory to Practice" - has provided over 9,000 professionals with the skills to engage men in the prevention of dating violence and sexual assault. Through engaging group discussion and interactive exercises, participants will build skills for speaking with men about sexism, strategize with others about how to involve men in preventing gender violence, explore the challenges of engaging men, and learn effective ways to overcome those challenges.
People that should attend:
* youth-serving professionals searching for better ways to teach males about healthy masculinity and positive relationships
* rape crisis and domestic violence center personnel looking for ways to engage men
* military SARC's, SAVI’s, and officers
* activist men strategizing new ways to engage males in their community to role model strength without violence
* college and university students, staff, and faculty who want to engage men on their campus
* anyone interested in doing this work
