Centre for Sexuality - WiseGuyz

A number of years ago, the Centre for Sexuality began to see a critical need in the community. We recognized that most sexual health services were targeted to women, and that while teen pregnancy rates had dramatically dropped, STI rates continued to rise. We knew that domestic and sexual violence rates were also rising. We saw disturbing trends around the cultural and media messages about what it meant to be a man. We continued to see bullying and homophobia occurring in schools. Could there be a link? What were we teaching our young men, and how could we change the conversation?

As a result of these questions, WiseGuyz was born. As an organization with a long-standing tradition of effective, innovative programs in our community, we saw an opportunity to deepen our impact and to tackle an issue at its root. WiseGuyz is a year-long, evidence-based, in-school program offered to groups of Grade 9 guys at participating schools.
