Healthy Masculinities

The Coalition for Authentic Masculinities Promotion (CAMP) is an initiative within Health Promotion that provides opportunities for students to explore their understanding of masculinity. By providing space for education, reflection, community, and leadership CAMP aims to support students in critically examining issues of masculinity, gender roles, and how it has shaped systems and structures in our community. 

  • Reflection & Education

      • The DU Masculinities Project, presented by The Coalition for Authentic Masculinities Promotion (CAMP), is a six- week workshop series that allows participants to examine topics of mental health, healthy relationships, emotional awareness, and equity through the lens of healthy masculinities.. Upon completing the workshop series, students will leave with a plan for how to promote healthy masculinities within their club, organization, team, or other communities that they are a part of.
