dc.description.abstractAdolescent male mental health is a topic that is rarely discussed in the psychological world due to its stigma and lack of representation within the literature. This Capstone analyzes and reviews supports for mental health professionals to address adolescent male ages 13 to 17 mental health concerns. Although mental health is a new topic that is continuously being researched, it is evident that there is a lack of support for adolescent males who have significant mental health problems. There is a stigma associated with male mental health that is prominent in society that cause males to hide their mental health conditions due to fear of societal pressures. Adolescence is a time of self-discovery and utilizing peer support as an influence for behaviors and decisions. It is a time where individuals discover who they are, and males often feel the societal pressure to behave a certain way which leads to significant problems in adulthood. This Capstone will highlight the best theoretical approaches to working with adolescent males as well as the incorporation of physical activity to provide an alternative support. This Capstone will introduce a lesson plan for schools or community centers to support adolescent males by incorporating cognitive behavioral therapy and physical literacy to support mental health.
