A 36-hour curriculum designed to help men overcome past trauma and develop the skills they need to live safe and caring lives
Healing Men's Pain Curriculum helpsmale-identified participants create a vision of the men they want to be and provides them with the awareness, tools, and confidence to achieve that vision. Each of the 18 two-hour, cofacilitated sessions includes activities, exercises, and experiential opportunities enabling each participant to connect with the content on a personal level. The program is wide-ranging and encompasses a variety of topics to help participants develop increased self-awareness to enhance their relationships. Participants explore their childhood, adolescent, and adult trauma; relational struggles, particularly issues of healthy attachment; and other issues that male-identified individuals often experience.
The material in Healing Men's Pain Curriculum will stretch both participants and facilitators alike. The sessions are designed to take a deep and comprehensive look at everything that blocks men from being the best men they can be. The curriculum speaks to all learning styles through the use of art, physical movement, and roleplays. Participants are given additional learning opportunities in the form of assignments to complete between sessions.
These assignments build upon the roleplays and in-session practice to help participants translate the material directly into their own lives.

Endorsements for Healing Men’s Pain
“As the Founder of White Bison, an organization that provides culturally based programs, resources, and training that are geared towards recovery and prevention of alcohol and substance use, I am pleased to endorse Healing Men’s Pain. Our programs focus on healing from the impacts of intergenerational and historical trauma using cultural teachings. White Bison has been working with individuals, families, and communities for over 35 years. This curriculum is the only known example we have encountered that promotes intergenerational healing of men. This program is revolutionary for breaking the cycle and focusing on that root‐level, deep healing. We believe it will create a new generation of boys who will grow up to become good men, natural fathers, and committed citizens. White Bison wholeheartedly endorses Healing Men’s Pain.”
– Don Coyhis, FounderWhite Bison
“Perhaps just when we need it most, it’s here—a trauma‐informed, insight‐oriented, skill‐building interactive curriculum for men. Men, including young men, are struggling. Many are struggling to succeed in their profession, to discover purpose, or to find meaning in life. Struggling not to have to struggle. We battle demons of mind and matter. Beleaguered by anger, anxiety, and addictions. Depression and despair. Guilt and grief. And, as always, love and loss. Far too many men survive by alternating between enduring emotional pain and mindlessly pursuing soothing, yet self‐defeating pleasures. Fortunately, that doesn’t have to be the end of our stories. Remarkably, on the other side of despair men are resilient, recovering, and living life at their best. Healing Men’s Pain helps men get from here to there. It is turn‐by‐turn navigation for traveling alongside men as they courageously, yet safely, uncover, discover, and recover; as they rewrite their stories—as it was, as it might be, and most importantly, as it can be—now. The Man Rules creator, author Dan Griffin and Jonathan De Carlo have created what is sure to become an essential resource for anyone helping men heal. And not a moment too soon.”
– Terrence D. WaltonExecutive Director/Chief Executive OfficerNAADAC, the Association for Addiction Professionals
"I highly recommend “Healing Men’s Pain” for its targeted approach to the needs of male clients in behavioral health settings. The curriculum spans crucial topics such as “the man rules,” anger, shame, conflict, family dynamics, and societal roles, offering practical exercises for facilitators to engage clients in meaningful exploration and discussion.
The curriculum's strength lies in its blend of interactive elements and evidence‐informed content, drawing on the authors' expertise and personal insights. It is written inclusively, inviting all who are interested in the effects of traditional masculinity norms to gain from its lessons, though it is particularly beneficial for group settings with male participants.
For clinicians, this resource is a means to deepen their understanding of masculine‐specific issues and enhance their therapeutic skills, addressing a notable gap in behavioral health resources. Clients stand to gain a structured yet flexible framework for treatment that promotes healthier cognitive and emotional patterns.
In essence, Healing Men’s Pain is an essential addition to any behavioral health professional's toolkit who aims to support male clients on their journey to recovery. Its comprehensive approach and actionable guidance position it as a cornerstone text for facilitating effective and empathetic care.”
– David DawdyMental Health Director, Michigan Dept of Corrections
“Dan Griffin and Jonathan DeCarlo have created a container that holds every aspect of a man's life experience. What makes this work so effective is the respectful, compassionate and holistic way they allow and encourage each man to safely explore their personal experience. Insight and understanding is quickly transformed into daily and long term expressions of healthy personal and interpersonal growth.”
– Dr. Larry Anderson, Psy.D. L.P., nationally recognized expert on male trauma
“In 15 years of providing clinical leadership in addiction and mental health, I have never seen a treatment approach so well tailored to the multi‐generational pain that men experience. For those working on themselves and those providing care to men in need, you are doing a disservice if you don't include Dan Griffin and Johnathan DeCarlo's Healing Men's Pain in your treatment model. From practical, down‐to‐earth techniques that anyone can use in the same day to a more in depth and honest exploration of deeper pain, this guide gives you everything you need to walk with a man through the difficult journey of inner healing. The session on Toxic Water alone is the first I've seen that gives men an authentic and interactive encounter with how the toxic culture of masculinity relates to trauma. I strongly recommend Healing Men's Pain for the treatment of trauma‐related disorders, substance use disorders, and related mental health conditions.”
– Samson Teklemariam, LPC, CPTM ‐ Vice President of Clinical Services for Behavioral Health Group, LLC. and Southeast Regional Vice President for NAADAC, the Association of Addiction Professionals
“Healing Men’s Pain is a transformational resource to assist anyone working with men. I have spent most of my career striving to ensure world class trauma informed treatment is readily available to those in need. HMP could not come at a more critical time! The terms gender responsiveness and trauma informed are often thrown around without truly being evidenced based or comprehensive in their approach. HMP not only does both but gives the facilitator step by step guidance and support through a curriculum that encompasses experiential, skill building, family of origin, attachment, and tools to heal relationships. As a man in long term recovery and a trauma survivor, this curriculum helps men like me better understand my trauma, the impact it has on me today, and how I can heal and be the man I desire to be. Thank you Dan and Jonathan for creating a resource that will bring healing to men and change generations to come!”
– Sean Walsh, CEOMeadows Behavioral Health
Healing Men's Pain is the most comprehensive, compelling program for men I have ever seen. This curriculum covers all aspects of the healing journey so many men are eagerly awaiting. This program provides multiple tools to work with men's traumas – emotional, physical, spiritual, and psychological. This program should be taught in secondary schools and most certainly be a required college course. In other words, this is going to help men in ways that will be revolutionary.”
– John Lee author of The Flying Boy and Growing Yourself Back Up and early pioneer in Men's work and Recovery.
“Healing Men’s Pain is a comprehensive, easy to follow guide for effectively facilitating trauma groups for men. Each weekly topic builds upon the previous one serving to illuminate the invisible trauma that underlies, and often distorts, most men’s lives. With a deft hand, Griffin and DeCarlo teach the reader how to create a safe and consistent container in service of compassionately deconstructing defenses in a group healing process. Men often experience trauma at the hand of other men, wounding their masculinity. This full‐circle process of men helping men heal delivers the trauma survivor squarely into his authentic manhood. This is a book whose time has come!”
– Alexandra Katehakis, Ph.D. author, Mirror of Intimacy: Daily Reflections on Emotional and Erotic Intelligence
"Healing Men's Pain is a dynamic new curriculum that addresses the often‐ignored intersection of how men are socialized and the role that this can play in the development of trauma and exacerbation of its impact. I've long been an admirer of Dan Griffin's work with those who are socialized as and/or identify as men, and I'm happy to see him join forces with Jonathan DeCarlo in this new work. An excellent guide for facilitators and settings that are in need of more direction about these sensitive topics, Healing Men's Pain, fills a variety of needs in the current addiction treatment, mental health, and healing space."
– Jamie Marich, Ph.D.Author of Trauma and the 12 Steps; Dissociation Made SimpleFounder and CEO of The Institute for Creative Mindfulness
"Healing Men's Pain is a program that understands what lies in the hearts (and the fears) of men. The group curriculum relentlessly offers hope, respect and—most importantly—safety for men to explore their pasts and envision new futures. Multiple well‐designed exercises help men identify the stories they have constructed all these years, and the program guides them in challenging these stories and constructing new ones. This group program offers a beacon of light for all men.”
– David B. Wexler, Ph.D., author of “When Good Men Behave Badly” and “The STOP Domestic Violence Program”
“As treatment and psychotherapy have evolved we have realized the importance that both culture and gender identification have on a person’s emotional and...
