When you were a boy, did you feel comfortable being your full self?
Did you feel at ease around becoming a man -- like you knew what that meant and smoothly moved into that identity?
We live in a world where boys and young men often feel like it's not safe to be themselves, and where it can be confusing to grow into manhood.
According to Nat Damon, who runs Reach Academy for Young Men, "what boys need is to be seen and heard." And for boys who need healthy role models in terms of what it means to be a mature, healthy man, places like Reach are lifelines.
Reach Academy gives boys a place to learn, grow, express themselves, bond with peers, and learn about leadership in a grounded way. Mentors there ask themselves questions like, "How can we help them to see the positive elements of being a man, while at the same time addressing the roots of toxic masculinity?" And, "How do you create a hope-filled atmosphere?"
It's more important than ever to have places where people who identify as boys and young men can take the pressure off. Where they can get attuned support, and experience healthy leadership. And where they can be witnessed in whatever it is they're going through.
If you're raising a son or sons, or if you have someone who identifies as a boy or young man in your life, you won't want to miss this.
