Pine Grove integrates male-focused topics into treatment
Pine Grove Behavioral Health & Addiction Services last month launched A Few Good Men: Celebrating Men in Recovery, an initiative addressing in therapy some of the critical issues specific to men in treatment.
The Mississippi-based facility has identified 12 topics for men that it rotates on a weekly basis in its daily group therapy sessions. These include masculinity, male privilege, men and spirituality, and men and trauma. This initiative grew out of Pine Grove's work with men ages 18 to 39 in its Next Step program.
According to an announcement from the treatment organization, “A Few Good Men: Celebrating Men in Recovery works to challenge male stereotypes that can foster control, dominance and the suppression of emotions, to a more open view of masculinity that allows men to express themselves openly, show courage, and love deeply.”
