DESCRIPTION:Help Men & Boys Develop Connections!\n\nFunding provided by The Bowse Health Trust\n\nSpace provided by the Rutland City Boys & Girls Club\n\n \n\nMen's isolation & loneliness is rising at an alarming rate: The percentage of men with no close friends surged from just 3% in 1990 to 15% in 2021 - a staggering fivefold increase. (American Institute for Boys & Men: https://aibm.org)\n\n \n\nAges 14+\, and all genders are welcome.\n\nMen & boys are particularly encouraged to attend to lead this work from your own experiences!\n\n\nThursday\, Jan. 22 | 6:45 - 9PM\n\nWatch the Gone Guys Film and discuss\, explore\, and reflect on the film's significance.\n\n\n\nThursday\, Jan. 29 | 6:45 - 9PM\n\nContinue the conversation and dive deeper into the topics of disconnection\, isolation\, and loneliness. Collaborate on solutions that support men and boys in our community.\n\n\n\nFeb/March TBD | Follow-Up with UVM Men & Masculinities Program's Guest Facilitators!\n\nCreate next action steps to build meaningful connection and reduce and heal isolation and loneliness in our community.\n\n\n\nRSVP: Email Malik at mhines@rutlandbgclub.org\n\n \n\nThe loneliness epidemic is impacting men and boys and that is rippling outwards to affect all of us and our communities.

By coming together to face the loneliness epidemic in all its impacts\, we can empower each other and improve the lives of everyone\, including future generations!
