Insights and Impact.

Academic and clinical research are at the root of all Blueprint programs.

Evidence-based insights into brain science, social behaviour, and attachment  are foundational to our theories of how human beings react, interact and respond to adverse conditions. 

This evidence suggests that experiential education focused on just a few common principles— social factors that are sometimes considered ‘unmasculine’—are needed to support cognitive, behavioural, and social change. These foundational relational elements include:

• Trust

• Inclusivity

• Empathy

• Safety

When these elements aren’t present in early childhood, the impact on individuals later in life can be profound, shaping our understanding of the world, our behaviours, and our connections to others. 

When men understand and learn to recognize the impacts of the absence or presence of these factors—and more importantly, when they’re provided the right tools to address adverse experiences in childhood, in relationships, and in the workplace—their ability to give and receive love improves, they are able to be vulnerable and communicate, and they can heal and regain resiliency.

Men get better at closeness, and their loved ones benefit.

How we know this approach works.

Evidence from Blueprint program outcomes show that when men are provided insights and tools to address disconnection, trauma, neglect, and lack of care, they feel better, and they perform better in family life, in the workplace, and in their communities.
