Congratulations to AMPP Lab’s Sam Swisher on his successful dissertation defense. He conducted an amazing dyad study where he interviewed men with their best friend. Important research at a time when many men report isolation and disconnection.

2/2 2) Too often the policing of masculinity prevents authentic connection and help-seeking when men need it most. 3) We will all benefit from a world where more men and boys experience compassion, connection, hope, emotional congruence, and well-being.
