Men's advice in Tyrol: On the way to a new man picture

Von WOM

More and more men consciously decide to take support in the form of advice in Tyrol. Last year, the “Mannsbilder” association recorded over 5,000 individual consultations and tries to reach men in a way that promotes eye level and understanding. It is about helping men to develop and design their own self -image and identity.

Martin Christandl, the head of the association, emphasizes that many men often get into situations that overwhelm them and cause the feeling of powerlessness. This often happens before violence occurs. A look at the prehistory is therefore often taken during the consultations. Many men are not aware that their actions and emotions did not simply "happen". This self -reflection is crucial to understand that a conscious decision is needed to harm someone.

The challenges of modern masculinity

Social change brings with it many contradictory requirements for men. According to Christandl, it is increasingly difficult for men to define their role in the modern world. On the one hand, you expect to be strong and assertive, while on the other hand there is a certain sensitivity and softness. These tensions can lead to internal conflicts, especially in young men, which sometimes leads to them to return to more traditional, rigid male pictures.

The association "Mannsbilder" recognizes these problems and wants to help men expand their horizons. In consultation, emphasis is important that men develop the courage to find and live their own identity. It's not just about coping with current crises, but also about long -term personal development.

A remarkable part of this process is how to deal with violent behaviors. According to Christandl, around 800 men in Tyrol are currently found in a consulting situation at the "Mannsbilder" association. This number illustrates that there is growing awareness of personal and social challenges and that more and more men are willing to accept help.

The developments in Tyrol reflect a larger trend where men increasingly take advantage of advice in order to deal with their emotions and roles. The respectful and equal approach of the men's consultants in Tyrol aims to promote precise reflection and personal change, which can represent an important support in their lives for many men.
