Schools & Educators
Public and private schools across North America—and internationally—most often seek Brendan’s guidance for two interconnected reasons:
01
Navigating Gender Dynamics
Helping educators, staff, and parents understand and support boys and young men, address challenges around masculinity, and foster meaningful gender equity.
02
Enhancing Social-Emotional Wellbeing and Mental Health
Equipping the entire school community—staff, parents, and students—with practical, research-based strategies to promote students’ social, emotional, and academic growth.
Common Challenges Schools Face
When it comes to boys, masculinity, and wellbeing, these are the most frequent concerns schools bring forward:
boys struggling silently
- Mental health challenges (e.g., substance use, screen overuse, gambling)
- Disengagement from academics and school life
- Loneliness and isolation—paired with a quiet desire for connection and guidance
Concerning Behaviors Emerging Loudly
- Echoing harmful online influencers (e.g., red-pill, black-pill, manosphere content)
- Aggressive or disrespectful language and behavior toward peers and staff; safety concerns
- Lack of empathy, accountability, and relational skills, especially in group dynamics
- Growing gender divides in peer relationships
Boys Feeling Like “Problems” Rather Than People
- Feeling misunderstood, vilified, or unfairly assumed to be in the wrong
- Fear of making mistakes, asking questions, or expressing honest opinions
A Collaborative, Sustainable Approach
Following initial consultations, Brendan works closely with schools to co-create an actionable plan that may include:
- CUSTOMIZED TRAININGS AND WORKSHOPS FOR STAFF, TEACHERS, COACHES, PARENTS, AND STUDENTS
- TAILORED RESOURCES, TOOLS, AND CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT
- PRACTICAL FRAMEWORKS FOR FOSTERING ONGOING, SUSTAINABLE CULTURE SHIFTS
Brendan’s goal is to honour the specific context and needs of each school and leave their community equipped for lasting success—ready to support the wellbeing, growth, and leadership potential of all students and staff.
Organizations & Companies
Brendan partners with both for-profit and non-profit organizations to help them better understand and engage boys and men—as clients, customers, and community members. Organizations seek his expertise to:
- DEEPEN THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF MALE IDENTITY, MASCULINITY, AND GENDER DYNAMICS
- TAILOR PRODUCTS, SERVICES, AND MESSAGING TO MORE EFFECTIVELY REACH MALE AUDIENCES
- DESIGN PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES THAT SUPPORT THE WELLBEING, DEVELOPMENT, AND ENGAGEMENT OF BOYS AND MEN
- TRAIN STAFF TO WORK MORE CONFIDENTLY AND SENSITIVELY WITH MALE POPULATIONS
Whether working with youth-serving agencies, community organizations, sports programs, or corporate teams, Brendan provides actionable, research-based strategies that create meaningful connection and lasting impact.
Individual Consulting & Coaching
At its core, Brendan’s individual consulting and coaching work is about reconnection—to self, to others, and to purpose.
Whether you’re a parent wanting to confidently support your son through life’s challenges, or a man seeking deeper self-understanding and emotional growth, Brendan offers a thoughtful, supportive space to help you move forward with clarity and courage.
These services are designed for those who want to:
- SUPPORT THEIR SON’S DEVELOPMENT—WITH GUIDANCE FOR NAVIGATING LIFE TRANSITIONS, EMOTIONAL GROWTH, AND EVERYDAY CHALLENGES
- BETTER UNDERSTAND THE MEN IN THEIR LIVES—PARTNERS, SONS, FATHERS, OR FRIENDS—THROUGH THE LENS OF MASCULINITY AND RELATIONAL DYNAMICS
- DEEPEN PERSONAL SELF-AWARENESS—ESPECIALLY FOR MEN LOOKING TO STRENGTHEN EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE, RELATIONAL SKILLS, AND SENSE OF PURPOSE IN TODAY’S EVOLVING WORLD
As a sociologist, Brendan’s work is educational, developmental, and practical in nature—focused on insight, skill-building, and growth. For clients interested in deeper, ongoing personal coaching, Brendan also offers more IFS-informed sessions, drawing on training received and on-going consulting from James J. Stametelos.
