A free in-person conversation led by Tom about men's emotions, masculinity and how online influences shape the way we think and connect.
Tom Talks is coming to YMCA 3rd Unit on Friday 27 November, for an in-person conversation about men's emotions and how online influences shape the way we think and connect. It's run by YMCA South Midlands, and the whole thing is free to attend.
Tom leads the session, and the conversation covers the challenges young men and men face today, including the pressures around masculinity, relationships and mental health. A big part of the day looks at how social media and online influencers — including content described as the 'manosphere' — can shape ideas about being a man and how to relate to others. It also touches on understanding emotions and navigating difficult experiences like grief and loss, and why opening up or asking for support can help, with a focus on positive ways to manage emotions, build healthy relationships and be yourself.
The aim is to create an open, honest and judgement-free space to talk, listen and reflect, and there's one thing worth knowing before you go: no one is expected to speak. You can just sit and listen if that's what you're comfortable with, so there's no pressure to contribute unless you want to.
