The MENSCAPE Manhood And Purpose Programme (MAPP) is a structured, 16-session programme that helps men aged 21 and over understand who they are, manage themselves, take responsibility for their behaviour, treat others with respect, and build a life with direction and purpose.

MAPP draws on MENSCAPE's male-focused therapy and coaching, and on the principles behind our Domestic Abuse Perpetrator Programme (DAPP) and Fatherhood and Parenting Programme (FAPP). It provides a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space for men to reflect honestly and make lasting changes.

MAPP is currently delivered as 1:1 sessions, online or face to face. A MAPP group programme is coming soon.

One question runs through the whole programme: "What kind of man do I choose to be?"

WHAT DOES MAPP COVER?

MAPP moves through eight core areas over 16 one-hour sessions:

1. Self-Awareness and Manhood

• Session 1: The Man I Want to Be

• Session 2: Manhood and Masculinity: What Kind of Man?

2. Faith, Culture, Community and Belonging

• Session 3: Who Am I? Faith, Culture, Community and Belonging

3. Values, Integrity and Self-Respect

• Session 4: My Values and Moral Compass

• Session 5: Self-Respect and Dignity

4. Emotional Regulation

• Session 6: Emotions Beyond Anger

• Session 7: Knowing My Triggers and Taking the Pause

5. Responsibility and Accountability

• Session 8: Excuses, Explanations and Ownership

• Session 9: Impact and Repair

6. Women, Sex and Healthy Relationships

• Session 10: Respecting Women

• Session 11: Sex, Sexuality and Consent

• Session 12: Healthy Relationships: Dignity, Equality and Power

7. Maturity and Role Modelling

• Session 13: Mature Manhood, Fatherhood and Role Modelling

8. Right Action, Purpose and Discipline

• Session 14: Moral Dilemmas and Right Action

• Session 15: Purpose, Direction, Career and Goals

• Session 16: Discipline and the Man I Choose to Keep Becoming

Every session includes a moral or ethical dilemma to work through, and a practical task to try during the week. Over the 16 weeks, each man builds his own Personal Plan for the man he wants to become.

WHO IS MAPP FOR?

MAPP is for men aged 21 and over who want to:

• Understand where their ideas about being a man came from.

• Manage anger, stress and pressure more effectively.

• Take responsibility for their behaviour.

• Build healthier, more respectful relationships.

• Be a better partner, father or role model.

• Find direction, purpose and career goals.

• Make lasting changes in their lives.

WHAT DOES MAPP AIM TO SUPPORT?

MAPP aims to help men develop:

• A healthy, chosen sense of manhood and masculinity.

• Clear values, integrity and self-respect.

• A stronger sense of identity, belonging and support.

• Greater emotional awareness and self-control.

• Real accountability for their behaviour and its impact.

• Respect for women, an understanding of consent, and healthy relationships.

• Maturity and positive role modelling.

• Ethical decision-making, purpose, goals and discipline.

Individual outcomes will vary according to each man's circumstances, engagement and needs.

IMPORTANT: MAPP AND DOMESTIC ABUSE WORK

MAPP is a personal development programme. It is not a Domestic Abuse Perpetrator Programme (DAPP), and it is not a sexual offending treatment programme.

Where domestic abuse or harmful behaviour within a relationship is the main concern, MENSCAPE will consider whether the MENSCAPE DAPP or another specialist intervention is more appropriate. Completion of MAPP does not, in itself, show that risk has been reduced.

PROFESSIONAL AND SELF-REFERRALS

Referrals and enquiries are welcomed from:

• Men themselves.

• Early Help and Family Hubs.

• Children's Social Care.

• Probation and youth justice services.

• GPs and mental health services.
