Скачать или смотреть Boys Don't Cry: Breaking Boy Codes That Harm Emotional Growth

In this short video, we unpack three common “Boy Codes” — harmful stereotypes about boys and men — and explore how these messages can limit emotional growth, silence feelings, and discourage help-seeking behaviors.

This video is designed for educators, counselors, parents, and caregivers who want to support boys’ social-emotional development in a way that is age-appropriate, trauma-informed, and does not require personal disclosure.

Pair this video with the FREE “Breaking Boy Codes: What’s in Your Suitcase?” SEL Activity, a no-prep lesson that helps students identify and release common stereotypes about boys.
