June 09, 2026

9-10 a.m.

This webinar will explore strategies for engaging men who may be experiencing suicidal thoughts, with a focus on approaches that resonate with men who may be reluctant to seek help or talk openly about mental health. A subject matter expert in “Man Therapy” will introduce key concepts and practical strategies clinicians can use to better connect with male clients. Vermont partners will highlight resources and programs available to support men across the state. Participants will leave with practical ideas for clinical engagement as well as greater awareness of Vermont-based supports they can share with clients.
