Smith. I am a senior staff counselor at the Center for Health &amp; Wellbeing\u2019s Counseling &amp; Psychiatry Services (CAPS). I also serve as the Men\u2019s Outreach Coordinator (MOC). I have served in this dual position since 2006. The position of MOC is innovative and unprecedented in a university setting. I provide general counseling, clinical assessment, and referral and case management services specifically geared toward male students. I also provide consultation, education, training, and programming to the UVM community on issues related to healthy masculine identity development, violence prevention as well as assisting in coordination of the campus-wide response to gender based and sexual violence.<\/p>\n<p>I decided to start a blog in response to what I saw as a lack of on-going dialogue about men and masculinity, and as a means of expressing my individual perspective on these issues. Prior to and during my six years of working as a counselor and educator, I have had the extraordinary opportunity to work with a wide range of men in a variety of settings and circumstances. I believe that these experiences continue to provide me with a unique perspective with regard to men and masculinity. It is my hope that others will find my perspective interesting, compelling, and informative.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/kesmith\/files\/2012\/01\/Keith11.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-8\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/kesmith\/files\/2012\/01\/Keith11-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"124\" height=\"130\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greetings, My name is Keith E.
