How practitioners can work with young male clients within a gender-responsive treatment program Adverse life events can experience significant impairment in neural development which can lead to weakened critical thinking, diminished emotional intelligence, and increased antisocial behavior. Statistics show that traditional treatment programs are inadequate in helping young men--estimated to account for 68% of all teens struggling with substance use disorder--to achieve sustained abstinence that leads to recovery. A Young Man's Guide to Self-Mastery provides practical guidance on implementing an effective trauma-informed, gender-responsive treatment program that addresses the impact of socialization, adverse life experiences, and substance use. This invaluable guide explains the theoretical foundation and real-life connection between trauma and substance use, and provides clear guidelines and actionable strategies for treating boys and young men challenged by trauma and substance use disorder. * Provides guidance on integrating evidence-based interventions, mindfulness techniques, and experiential activities * Covers the effects of environmental trauma, gender development awareness, socialization, identity, sexuality, relational violence, and aggression * Examines trauma's impact on families, mental health, and comorbid and addictive behavior * Discusses the key elements of strength-based approaches and mentoring A Young Man's Guide to Self-Mastery is an invaluable resource for practitioners working with male adolescents in mental health clinics, juvenile justice facilities, and residential and outpatient facilities.

This is a gender‐expansive program designed for a wide range of youth, including those who are transgender or nonbinary. It is also for those who are gay or bisexual. It is for all of you who are experiencing the world from a masculine perspective.
INTRODUCTION TO YOUR WORKBOOK
A Young Man's Guide to Self‐Mastery Participant's Workbook contains information, activities related to your group's sessions, and places for you to make notes about your experiences and reactions. You will use this workbook during your group's sessions and for activities to be done between the sessions.
Don't worry about your handwriting or spelling or drawing ability. This workbook is yours alone. It is a tool for you, and no one will grade it or criticize it. No one else has to see it, and you can decide how much of your work you want to share with the group. As you learn to trust the other group members, you may decide to share more of your work and wisdom in order to compare life experiences, realizations, and decisions you make.
Your group will meet for fourteen sessions. Each session will run for two hours, without a break.
You will use this workbook in several ways:
During the sessions, the facilitator may ask you to look at a page in the workbook and to read along with an important piece of information or list.
As part of an activity in a session, you may be asked to write or draw in your workbook.
At the end of each session in the workbook, there is a place for you to note what you want to remember about that session. This is called “Reflections.”
After Session One, and through Session Thirteen, you will be asked to complete a “Between‐Sessions Activity.” This usually means practicing something you learned during the session or writing or drawing about something that happened during the session.
Your honest responses will enable you to look back at where you were and ahead to where you are going. They will provide you with a reminder of what you have learned. You will begin to see your unique strengths and, we hope, a vision of a better future.
MODULE AMyself
SESSION 1Welcome, Introductions, and Building Our House
THIS SESSION
Your facilitator's name is.
Your co‐facilitator is.
Your group will meet.
This program was created to help you use your inner strengths, to master difficulties in your life, and to improve the way you get along with others. The program will help you find a new way to look at issues you have faced in the past and issues you are facing in the present. You will help to create a space in which all of your group members can learn from one another and from the activities and information provided by the facilitator.
In your group, you'll hear things that you have in common with the other participants and things that are different. You have a chance to connect with other people who have been living lives of unique challenges and accomplishments. Most important, you will have a chance to share your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. You won't have to share anything you don't feel comfortable sharing. You’ll find a place to be heard and to be supported by others who can relate to you.
This is also a space for you to present yourself as you really are and to explore who you hope to become. Young people come in all shapes, styles, backgrounds, and presentations. This is a place to be your genuine self while supporting others who are doing the same thing. Although we sometimes use the terms “boys and young men” in our discussions to explain how they typically are raised and, therefore, how they may act, this program is created for boys, young men, young trans men and boys, and nonbinary and gender nonconforming people who have a masculine experience of the world.
BEING IN A GROUP
Starting in a new group is not comfortable. You may feel nervous or uneasy and you may try different ways of dealing with your feelings. These are called “defensive strategies.” Your facilitators have worked with many people like you and understand your discomfort. They will try to make this an environment in which you feel comfortable and safe and can let others see the real you.
Many of your group members may have experienced trauma or other troubling things in their lives. In this program, you will explore how violence, abuse, trauma, power, control, and powerlessness are part of the lives of many young people. It will help you to identify your inner strengths and talents in order to master the difficulties that you may be facing. Then you can discover how to lead a healthier life and have healthier relationships with yourself and others. Most important, you will begin to have a sense of mastery of yourself and your future.
MUTUAL AGREEMENTS
Some of the qualities that groups like yours name as being important are trust, confidentiality, respect, collaboration, nonjudgment, compassion, empathy, and acceptance. These, and whatever your group chooses to add, will be the foundations of your work together.
You can list your group's building blocks here:
THE WORD CLOUD
A Word Cloud is a way of tracking words that are used most often by people on social networks. The more a word is used, the larger it is.
On the next page, use words that describe you and your interests to make a Word Cloud. The more a word is true of you, the bigger it should be. Words that say more about you are horizontal on the page, and words that aren't so obvious may be vertical, upside down, or backwards. You choose the direction that fits you. You can use colors for emphasis. You also may draw symbols or pictures instead of using words. Here is a sample.
FIVE SENSES
A “grounding” activity can help you to detach from your inner, emotional discomfort by helping you to be more aware of the physical world and connecting with the “here and now.” It is one of the self‐mastery techniques you will learn in this program.
Close your eyes or lower your eyelids.
Relax for a few moments. Take a few deep breaths and exhale slowly.
Open your eyes when you're ready.
Silently, identify five things you can see around you.
Now identify four things you can feel or touch.
Identify three things you can hear.
Now identify two things you can smell.
Finally, identify what you can taste right now.
Now focus your eyes on something in front of you and mentally come back into the present.

REFLECTION
“Reflection” is thinking deeply or carefully about something. Think back to what had the most impact on you in today's session, what you felt, and what you want to remember. Here is a space for you to write or draw about it. You may finish this after the session ends.
BETWEEN‐SESSIONS ACTIVITY
Take time between now and the next session to practice the Five Senses grounding technique at least once per day. Be ready to share about your experience with this activity in the next session. You may want to make some notes about it on this page. You may also want to complete your Reflection activity.
SESSION 2A Sense of Self
THIS SESSION
All of the people in your group have had experiences that influence how they think of themselves and how they interact with the world. This session is intended to help you become more aware of the many things that have contributed to your sense of “self” and the ways in which you relate to others.
MY PLACE
You can practice this grounding technique in many situations, especially when you want to calm down. Many people say that this works well in situations when they're feeling stressed, frustrated, or angry.
Sit comfortably but with good posture, with your back straight, and place your feet flat on the floor.
Place your hands either palms up or palms down on your lap and relax. You may close your eyes if you're comfortable with that or you may choose to focus on a fixed spot on the floor directly in front of you.
Relax your shoulders and slowly roll your neck in a circle from left to right.
Now roll your neck in a circle from right to left.
Holding your head still, allow yourself to notice how you're breathing.
Then inhale gently through your nose and exhale fully through your mouth.
