Time Out! For Men
Authors: N. Bartholomew and D. D. Simpson
The Time Out! For Men manual was developed as a companion piece for the Time Out! For Me workshop for women. The manual provides substance abuse treatment professionals with guidelines for a workshop for men who are interested in improving their intimate relationships. Communication skills, self-esteem, sexual health, and expressing feelings are presented as a foundation for helping men find solutions for relationship difficulties. In addition, men are encouraged to explore gender stereotypes, sexual myths, and sexual identities that operate in society. A reference section on human sexuality is also provided.
This 8-session workshop uses discussion, information sharing, and structured activities to address the following topics:
- A New Outlook on Relationships
- Listening
- Talk it over-Part II: Resolving conflict
- Loving relationships
- The Assertive Attitude
- Talk it Over-Part I: Feelings and needs
- Man Talk: It's more than plumbing
- Making relationships work
