Our Approach
At the Institute for Wholehearted Men (INfoWM) we believe that in order to thrive, men require emotional self-connection and the mental awareness to make good choices. Operating on emotional neglect autopilot is literally hazardous to our health. It exacerbates the lack of connection fostered by a society fraught with all manner of relational estrangement. Emotional isolation and starvation, is robbing men of the skills necessary to thrive in relationships with self and others.
We are culturally and socially programmed to relentlessly push for success as it is perceived by others or ourselves. We breach our own boundaries to acquire the trapping of worldly affirmation while overlooking inner cries for help. INfoWM’s purpose is “to support men in gaining access to knowledge, resources, the language, and skills that foster healthy mental and physical lives.”
Our Story
INfoWM has been mentoring and leading youth and men to mature citizenry since 1994. We believe in educating communities to form environments of trust and support for male populations. We have established a track record of community involvement and programmatic amalgamation. We are hands-on, and believe in direct-delivery and working -in the trenches- with critical stakeholders.
