Crucial Conversations are necessary! Many of our young boys and men are facing significant challenges. The current youth mental health crisis stands out as one of the most pressing social issues in our country. A recent CDC study revealed that almost half (44%) of teenagers consistently experience feelings of sadness or hopelessness. Additionally, one in seven young men, aged 16 to 24, grapple with depression or anxiety each year. Unfortunately, these symptoms often go unnoticed, preventing young people from receiving the necessary support. By establishing a supportive environment where these young men can openly express their feelings, promoting community engagement, and imparting essential skills for healthy coping, we can empower them to thrive and achieve success.
