In this episode Alexis & Jerry meet with Adam Lewis, M.A. - head of school at Catholic Memorial High School in Boston, MA - to discuss the current landscape of supporting adolescent boys. We have an in depth and thoughtful dialogue about the pressures that adolescent boys feel these days. We consider ways of engaging with boys to address their vulnerabilities from a place of respect, genuine care, and perspective-taking as a way to break down the barriers. The important and significant role of women in the lives of boys is also explored and acknowledged. There are so many important messages within this episode that we hope are insightful and inspiring.

Summary:

• The ways that boys may experience and manifest mental & emotional challenges
• How to engage with boys to facilitate honest conversations
• Societal and environmental pressures for boys
• The importance of women in the lives of boys
