Matt Tyler is our special guest on this episode ahead of the Happy Families Bringing Up Boys Summit on Wednesday April 6.

Matt Tyler is Executive Director of The Men’s Project at Jesuit Social Services working with a team committed to intervening earlier to prevent violence, mental ill-health and other harmful behaviours among boys and men.

The Man Box is the first comprehensive study that focuses on the attitudes to manhood and the behaviours of young Australian men aged 18 to 30.

The Man Box is a set of beliefs within and across society that place pressure on men to be a certain way – to be tough; not to show any emotions; to be the breadwinner, to always be in control, use violence to solve problems; and to have many sexual partners.
