It’s been in the works for some time now, but we can now say its a fact. We have a new website!

The first years of college are a challenging transition for many of us. Academic expectations, social pressures, and being away from home, often for the first time, can often be difficult to navigate. Many traditional aged college men find themselves struggling in a variety of areas, including social, physical, mental, and emotional health. The UO Men’s Center, along with the UO Office of Student Judicial Affairs and the Counseling and Testing Center, has created Mad Skills, a unique intervention addressing the need for education and support for students in violation of the Conduct Code, as well as voluntary participants interested in exploring universal men’s health concerns.
‘Violence’ is a broad term that means different things to different people. It can be used to describe a specific incident of violation by physical force or to describe an abusive or unjust exercise of power over a period of time. Perhaps the most insidious forms, familial and interpersonal violence, thrive on privacy and secrecy, happening behind closed doors. ‘Break the Cycle7rsquo; is an event that has been intentionally designed to serve as a bridge across the chasm between the individual and the community. Each participant is free to define ‘the Cycle’ for themselves, yet are able to do so in collaboration with other participants as a community.
It is the mission of the University of Oregon’s Men’s Center to promote the physical, mental, emotional and social health of men. In order to fulfill this mission, the UO Men’s Center has partnered with the Interfraternity Council (IFC) to create ‘A Place to Land’. This event that will provide the student population an opportunity to enrich their health and wellbeing while also building community and having fun.
