Male Representation in Psychology

We apply research, theory, and common sense strategies to increase the enduring participation of help-seeking in seeking mental health as well as fostering more mental health professionals with a focus in the area of the psychology of men and boys.

Pilot Programs

  • Campus Representative Outreach

    One of our first goals is to recruit, train, and fund campus outreach representatives to make undergrad & grad-level professors aware of the Academic Outreach Committee resources/syllabi available to them to teach psych of men courses and/or include masculinities research and practices in coursework. Plans to host events addressing men’s issues – panels, movies, etc.

  • Graduate School Scholarships

    We plan to develop criteria and vetting/administration protocol to award five $10k scholarships to support candidates to apply to graduate training in psychology with an emphasis on men’s issues for students in need. Scholarship awardees will take part in a webinar series to highlight the work they’re doing in graduate school, and would like to have each awardee connect with two mentors from D51 - a graduate student as well as an established professional psychologist.
