In a typical MENtor session, Pete and the client explore the specific Man Box messages the client absorbed growing up, the rules about what a man is supposed to be, and examine how those messages have shaped his relationships, his emotional life, and his sense of self. Over the eight weeks of the program, most men report a meaningful shift: a greater ability to express what they actually feel, more honest and connected relationships with the people they love, and a sense of freedom from the pressure of performing a version of masculinity that never truly fit them.
The Man Box is a teaching metaphor about the way boys and men are socialized to view masculinity, women, and girls. It describes the rigid set of rules, be strong, be tough, never show weakness, control your emotions, that boys absorb from culture, family, and media as they grow up. These rules create men who are closed off to their own feelings and, too often, damaging to the relationships they care most about.
Paul Kivel and the Oakland Men’s Project gave birth to the conceptual underpinning of the “Act Like A Man Box”, creating a central part of men’s work with boys and men. Tony Porter’s decades of work with men in his organization, A Call to Men, has furthered these ideas and made “The Man Box” a globally recognized phrase and teaching tool.

Coach Pete’s MENtor program is founded on the principles he learned at the New York Model Batterer Program for Men (NYMBP.org), the Center for Safety and Change in Rockland County, and “A Call To Men.”

MENtor is an 8-week one-to-one online mentoring program for men created by Coach Pete Heymann. It is built around unpacking the “Man Box”, the socialized beliefs about masculinity that lead men to close off their emotions and damage relationships, and replacing them with healthier patterns of expression and connection.
The Man Box is a teaching concept, developed by Paul Kivel and furthered globally by Tony Porter of A Call to Men, that describes how boys and men are socialized to be tough, controlling, and closed off to their feelings. Coach Pete’s MENtor program helps men step out of the Man Box and into a fuller, more connected way of living.
MENtor is for any man who wants to make positive changes in how he relates to himself, his family, his relationships, and the world. It is especially valuable for men who have been told they are too closed off emotionally, who want to be better fathers or partners, or who are ready to break out of patterns that no longer serve them.
MENtor is a structured 8-week program specifically designed for men, combining one-to-one sessions with Coach Pete’s expertise in men’s work, developed through his training at the New York Model Batterer Program for Men and A Call to Men. It has a defined curriculum focused on the Man Box concept and masculinity.
