Coaching Boys into Men

Coaching Boys into Men (CBiM) is a national violence prevention program that connects athletic teams with advocates like Community Safety Network. Through partnerships with the Teton County School District and Jackson Hole Youth Soccer, we brought CBiM to Jackson, emphasizing coaches’ influential role in shaping young athletes’ lives.

CBiM involves 8-12 short conversations delivered by coaches on essential topics such as digital boundaries, bullying, mental health, and respect for women and girls.

Given athletes’ common role as leaders among their peers, this program serves as a preventive measure by instructing young male athletes in crucial relationship skills and mental health strategies related to violence and abuse.
