"Real Strength is a partnership between Meriden-Wallingford Chrysalis, Women and Families Center, Beat the Streets Community Center and Spanish Community of Wallingford that works to engage Men and Boys as Allies to eliminate violence
March 11, 2014
"Real Strength is a partnership between Meriden-Wallingford Chrysalis, Women and Families Center, Beat the Streets Community Center and Spanish Community of Wallingford that works to engage Men and Boys as Allies to eliminate violence. Through recruiting mentors and promoting active positive bystanders, the program aims to influence other men and boys. This program is open to all men and boys from Meriden or Wallingford but specifically aims to engage men and boys of color. "Real Strength" includes three key goals: 1) to strengthen individuals' knowledge, skills, and commitment to live without violence; 2) to educate community providers as allies against violence; and 3) to foster networks of men to engage other men and boys in the elimination of violence against women. To achieve these goals, Meriden-Wallingford Chrysalis seeks to implement a community-wide campaign and mentorship program through educational groups, presentations, mentorships, and community-mobilization. Real Strength works to explore and challenge the cultural norms that contribute to violence, and promote those that contribute to healthy and safe relationships, masculinity, non-violent conflict resolution, and bystander intervention.
