Healthy Relationships Unit – Tackling Toxic Masculinity, Misogyny, and Sexism in Society (PSHE for Boys & Young Men)
This powerful 9-lesson PSHE unit, with two bonus resources, is designed to help schools tackle toxic masculinity, the rise of misogyny online, and the growing influence of harmful ideologies such as the ‘manosphere’ and figures like Andrew Tate.
The unit empowers students—especially young teenage boys—to explore issues around gender, respect, equality, feminism, and healthy masculinity. It is rooted in the PSHE Association Programme of Study and meets DfE statutory RSE requirements. Lessons are age-differentiated and ideal for use across KS3, KS4 and KS5.
This resource responds to the cultural challenges highlighted in documentaries like Adolescence (Netflix) and current 51ºÚÁÏ concerns in UK schools.
