Lately, it's become abundantly clear to us that more men want to heal than ever before. Trauma is awakening men to doing healing work, and we've seen many of them find their way into the space that Worthy & Well shares with three other healers. This week's podcast guest, Jake Stika, has made it his life's work to not only help men heal from the social conditioning that leads to toxic masculinity, but also to create something different for the next generation of men (because what we've inherited clearly isn't working). As Jake says in the episode – boys will be what we give them space to be. Listen in as Casey and Jake discuss how the pandemic has affected toxic masculinity, what needs to happen for real change to take affect moving forward, and what you can do to be part of that change! **If you need support beyond what is listed in the resources below, please know that Casey is always available.

“Man up,” “be a man,” and “don't be a girl” are phrases that boys often hear while growing up. They send the message that men should always project toughness, stoicism, and independence. Jake Stika believes that we need to teach boys to express vulnerability, ask for help, and show compassion and that doing so will benefit everyone in our society. Stika is the Executive Director of Next Gen Men and he spoke at The Walrus Talks: Boundaries in 2019. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

"I feel a sense of belonging when I can drop the mask of masculinity and be myself...the consequences of not being our authentic selves is like cutting limbs off."In a society where three out of four suicides, 80% of drug overdoses, and primary perpetrators of violence are men, toxic definitions of masculinity profoundly impact men, boys and the lives of those around them.  Jake Stika shares his journey of learning, unlearning, and re-shaping a healthier future for masculinity through his work as Co-Founder and Executive Director of Next Gen Men.Links mentioned in the episode: nextgenmen.cacampfirekinship.comIG: @campfire_kinship

Mental health at work is a current topic of interest, especially since the beginning of the pandemic. While we have seen a slide in mental wellbeing across populations, there are some clear gender differences that have become apparent. In this episode we speak to Jake Stika, the executive director of Next Gen Men, a non profit focused on health and wellbeing of men in our communities and gender equity in the workplace, on some of the key differences for men's mental health and what we can do to better support them at work.

In the last episode of the second season of Modern Manhood, I wanted to know and understand what it would be like for young men right now graduating and going off into the world. By looking back at other people's experience of being 18. With guests, Jake Stika, Jonathan Reed, Trevor Mayoh from Next Gen Men, and one of our producers Samantha Nzessi.

How do we raise next gen men -- men who can thrive in the 21st century? "When you're on a playground, you can't yell, 'Hey, Tommy, cut that hegemonic masculinity out!'" says Jake Stika, co-founder of Next Gen Men, a Canadian organization dedicated to changing how the world sees, acts and thinks about masculinity. Parents, educators and boys need concrete, practical suggestions and assistance. Talking to boys about consent, for example, is not enough. Today's tweens and teens understand the concept of consent and understand why it's important, but they need help figuring out how to apply consent in their personal relationships. "They want to know, 'What do I actually say, that's not too awkward?'" says Jonathon Reed, youth program manager for Next Gen Men. Boys also need and want to understand their role in the #MeToo era. Many have heard that they should listen to women and girls and want to know if they're allowed to talk as well. "It's really benevolent sexism that we're perpetuating when we don't empower boys to be stakeholders, beneficiaries, and co-conspirators in conversations" about equality, the gender wage gap, childcare, and parenting, Stika says. In this episode, Jen, Janet, Jake & Jonathon discuss: Helping boys understand consent (and giving them words to use in real-life situations) Creating space for boys to find solutions How boys use humor Gendered expectations Gender equity Benevolent sexism Male-on-male violence Why boys (all boys!) need people who see them, value them, & KNOW them The difference between harm & abuse Boys & anger (Did you know that trauma can manifest as anger?)

Patriarchy is made up of two Latin words, meaning “father power” or “ruling “father.” Jake Stika—the co-founder and Executive Director of Next Gen Men—notes when we look at society, we see examples of patriarchal structures. It could be familial, with the father as the breadwinner and protector. It could be systemic, with monarchies and lords.In modern times, one of the two spheres where the most power is held is Fortune 500 companies. Only 32 out of 500 CEOs are female (7%), so it’s easy to see the power is still patriarchal. Global heads of state are still only 7% female representation. People don’t believe we exist in a patriarchy, but it’s easy to demonstrate. Everyone is affected by these structures. How do we change that? Why is change so necessary? Listen to this episode of Content Callout for a deep, eye-opening, and important conversation about redefining the roles of men in society.

Jake Stika founder of Canadia nonprofit Next Jen Men joined Purposely Podcast to share his story. ‘I had a really shitty mental health experience in my early 20s and came to understand that it was a masculine script that was harming me and I have been on a unlearning and learning journey, sharing that with people.' Jake a former athlete and self-confessed jock, struggled with his own mental health. This experience led to unsafe behaviour and a negative view of himself particularly in relation to his own masculinity. Eventually a period of self-reflection as well as therapy helped Jake to understand himself better and offered him more positive thoughts about what it means to be a man. This journey led him to a life of purpose and co founding the charity Next Gen Men focused on gender-based issues related to the social and emotional development of young men. It focuses on the health and well-being of men where boys and men ‘experience less pain and cause less harm'. ‘I've had an eclectic career. You know, I played Semi Pro basketball, until I was the ripe old age of 24. I then retired and came back to Canada and got a job in oil and gas as a business analyst, which, which was just awful. That is when I made the leap. Initially working as part of a start-up ecosystem leading business development and sales for several start-ups. That was part of the catalyst of Next Gen Men.' 'I had been fundraising for the men's health charity Movember for five years, and they had a call for proposals out for new ideas to change the face of men's health in Canada. I fancied myself as an entrepreneur and here was an idea and a funding opportunity, so we pitched! Together with a buddy of mine from University, who had lost his brother to suicide and who was working with at risk youth we pitched this idea and we got the funding, $150,000, to three knuckleheads who've never done anything like this before' Their youth programs teach boys to question gender stereotypes and assumptions. Their work helps build emotional intelligence, giving youth the skills and resilience they need for healthy relationships and positive mental health. How to practice consent, how to be a good friend, how to live with confidence and empathy, their programs engage youth in the big conversations they need to have. Jake was named one of Avenue Magazine's Top 40 Under 40, as well as having earned recognition from Ashoka, the British Council, and the Canadian Centre for Diversity and Inclusion. He has spoken at the United Nations as part of the Canadian Delegation, and participated in the UN Women Safe Cities Initiative Global Forum. He is also a proud advisor to the Calgary Immigrant Women's Association, Canadian Women & Sport, as well as the Calgary Women's Emergency Shelter. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/mark-longbottom2/message

There are a lot of women who talk about gender and diversity in the workplace, but not a lot of men. Here's the truth about gender equality: it isn't about men vs. women. It's actually about creating workplaces where everyone can thrive and that means it's better for men too. Jake Stika AKA 'The guy that talks about gender' is the Co-founder and Executive Director of Next Gen Men. They create brave spaces to engage, educate, & empower men and boys on gender & equality.

On the last episode of Modern Manhood, we surveyed the landscape of masculinity in the last ten years starting from Tony Porter’s Man Box and the election of Rob For all the way to end of 2017 In this episode, the first of 2020, we continue the conversation with Jake Stika, Executive Director at Next Gen Men, highlighting what caused ripples in the world of gender and masculinity.  Starting from Van Attack in Toronto all the way to the Don Cherry firing, finishing off with what we think the next ten years will look like for us and this world

It’s been ten years since Tony Porter introduced The Man Box to us. A tool and a theory that has shaped the way we see gender with men, and the system that hurts us and hurts others.  But a theory is only as good as it’s proof of concept. And you can say that in the last ten years The Man Box theory has been proven over and over again. On this episode and the one after this of Modern Manhood, we’ll look back at the 2010’s with my friend and the Executive Director of Next Gen Men, Jake Stika. 

On this week's Hope Motivates Action podcast episode, it’s my pleasure to introduce you to Jake Stika, the co-founder and Executive Director of the non-profit organization, Next Gen Men. I met Jake through his Board Chair and was immediately impressed with his compassion, intelligence and purpose-driven mission to create brave spaces to engage, educate and empower men and boys on gender and equality.

Detoxing the "toxic masculine." A conversation with Jake Stika, Executive Director, Next Gen Men.

In 2018, a lot of things happened, and it’s hard to encapsulate all of what happened, and all the thoughts around gender and masculinity I had into a lot of what went on. So to help me not only look back and think forward, I invited my buddy, Jake Stika who is the Executive Director of Next Gen Men to take some time dissecting the year that happened and look forward to the year that is going to be

“Let’s empower men!” said no one ever. It’s 2018 and we’re still struggling with equality and other social stigmas that come from centuries of brainwashing. But if men are so great, why are they vulnerable to depression and anxiety? Why are we glorifying aggression as something innate to males, and why aren’t we doing anything to change it? Today's guest is Jake Stika, a ‘Next Generation Man’ who wants to rethink what masculinity means and how we can put an end to toxicity. Who is Jake Stika and how is Next Gen Men fixing work? Jake Stika is the Co-Founder and Executive Director of this nonprofit organization that is engaging, educating, and empowering men and boys about gender in schools, communities, and workplaces. He has earned recognition from Ashoka, the British Council, the Canadian Centre for Diversity and Inclusion, and has spoken as part of the Canadian delegation at the United Nations. Jake believes that men can do better, but not under the pretense that men are inherently bad. He thinks there’s room for men to improve on how they think, behave, and contribute to what is socially and culturally perceived as masculine. It’s also imperative that the rest of us change the way we think and act to help support them. Think about how YOU perceive masculinity. Unless you’re exceptionally progressive, you’re probably part of a culture that has a certain idea of what ‘real men’ ought to be. Males are tough, strong, and able to do everything by themselves. Boys don’t cry. They should "man up." But it's these unreasonable expectations that set them up for failure. Even the statistics back this up. As a rule, men are incarcerated more often, end up homeless, and are more susceptible to violence. Clearly, something is wrong with the way we raise and treat our males, and in the expectations that we hold for them. How does such backward, medieval thinking even exist today? Jake blames it on all the little nudges boys get exposed to throughout their lives. Males have adapted this toxic mindset from years of conditioning, not just from the other men in their lives, but from women as well. It’s a difficult mindset to break for all of us. Jake was no stranger to this toxicity. He recounts his own experience growing up. Boys who cannot comply with this social standard end up broken. And these broken boys grow up as broken men. Then they enter the community and end up contributing to the noxious cycle. it won't be an easy fix. We all have to contribute to rehabilitating our men so they can become better. In doing so, we are raising men who become champions of empowering all genders to thrive in society. Just as it has taken years to ‘break’ these boys, it will take years to build them back up again. We have to stop isolating men by making them live in accordance with the accepted singularity of masculinity. Instead, we should encourage and embrace their “masculinities."
