Boys To Men Summer Of Healing Teen Empowerment Conference & Expo

DreamHouse Make A Difference Foundation, in partnership with The Stand Together Foundation and Heal America, are honored to invite you to the Boys To Men Summer Of Healing Teen Conference & Expo happening on August 20, 2022, in Atlanta, GA. The primary purpose of the Boys To Men Summer of Healing Teen Conference & Expo is to empower, develop, and motivate young males (teenage boys ages 11-17) by providing resources, education, and opportunities that maximize their potential for success. The Boys To Men Summer Of Healing Teen Conference & Expo will also provide a safe space for young men to have healing conversations. This event is FREE for all attendees.

The Boys To Men Summer of Healing Conference & Expo will benefit our community's young men of color by providing a safe space for discussing pressing issues affecting our youth. The conference will allow these young men to gather and ask males from all walks of life about what it's like to be a Black man in America and how to navigate society, establishing healthy habits that promote success. The young men will be able to act out real-life situations, such as interacting with the police at a traffic stop. These demonstrations will be led by local law enforcement officials in the Atlanta Metro area.

Topics to be covered include, but are not limited to:

• Transitioning to Manhood
• Conquering Fear of Success
• Mental Health and Self-Care
• Maintaining Healthy Relationships
• Navigating In A Professional World
• Effective Communication
• Interacting With Law Enforcement
