"Attendees felt that offering safe and accessible spaces for sessions to take place was the most influential enabler to engaging men and boys in violence prevention." The Wales Violence Prevention Unit's Engaging Men and Boys Toolkit is an incredibly valuable resource. One of its reports, Key Findings from ‘Test and Learn’ Projects in Wales (quoted above) shares findings from focus groups with Plan International UK. It's a must-read for anyone working with men and boys, or interested in #ViolencePrevention. It's certainly reassuring for our practitioners delivering #BystanderIntervention training across Wales – and a reminder of the importance of a trauma-informed approach. If you only have a minute to spare, scroll to page 20 for the Summary of findings. We'll share the link in the comments below.
