This guide is a resource for teachers and other school staff who work with young people in secondary schools. Its purpose is to help schools understand the harmful impacts of the manosphere, including the key beliefs and links to violence, how boys and young men are recruited into the manosphere and the role of social media.

The support arrangements are informed by the South Australian Government Department’s
