What is HMTI?
The Healthy Masculinity Training Institute (HMTI) is a three-day, in-person or online training for professionals seeking practical tools to engage men and boys through healthy masculinity and violence prevention. Drawing on MCSR’s 30+ years of experience, HMTI combines the science of violence prevention with strength-based facilitation and interactive practice. Participants leave with new approaches, activities, and skills they can apply in their own communities, campuses, and organizations.
