What do the words “macho” and “masculinity” mean to you? How does the portrayal of “macho” in the media challenge or reinforce your perceptions of your own masculinity? Can vulnerability and masculinity coexist? This event will explore the lived experiences of adopted individuals who identify as men, and is intended as a safe space where adopted individuals may explore issues surrounding masculinity and adoption. Come join Ryan Dritz (LCSW) for the inaugural session of Cryin’ with Ryan! 


This event is part of our ongoing efforts to create identity-centered spaces for adoptees to explore mental health topics in ways that reflect their lived experiences.
