NXTGENMEN: THEORY OF CHANGE
2023 ANNUAL REPORT
Assumptions
By creating a safe space where men can engage with sensitive and difficult topics, NxtGenMen
allows men to challenge themselves and each other.
By working through difficult material together, men create connections within a group, enhancing
trust and the willingness of participants to be honest and vulnerable with each other, able and
willing to provide support for one another, and to talk about feelings that they would not normally
express.
They feel heard and can exchange resources on how to cope better with life challenges.
