Over the course of this initiative, we visited three secondary schools, where we engaged young boys in meaningful conversations about mental health, challenged harmful misconceptions, and encouraged them to see emotional well-being as a strength, not a weakness.

That was one of the opinions shared by some of the secondary school boys we visited yesterday, and honestly, it perfectly reflected why conversations like these are so important.

Yesterday, the ๐—›๐—™๐—  ๐—ฆ๐—”๐—™๐—˜ ๐—ฆ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ธ ๐—œ๐—ป๐—ถ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐Ÿ’™โšก made its next stop at ๐™๐ž๐ง๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐‡๐ข๐ ๐ก ๐’๐œ๐ก๐จ๐จ๐ฅ, ๐Ž๐ฌ๐จ๐ ๐›๐จ๐Ÿ“. This outreach took a more interactive approach, creating a safe space for the boys to openly share their opinions, experiences, and perspectives on mental health and the societal expectations placed on men.

One thing that stood out to us was how differently many of the boys understood ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต๐˜ข๐˜ญ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ. Some described it as โ€œ๐˜ข ๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ง ๐˜ฃ๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ช๐˜ฏ ๐˜ฅ๐˜ข๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜จ๐˜ฆ,โ€ while others believed it only referred to

It became clear that awareness is still deeply needed!

Beyond the discussions on mental health, many of the boys also shared their dreams and ambitions. Some hoped to become innovators, creating and inventing new technologies, while others expressed interest in pursuing careers in healthcare and other impactful fields.

The conversations didnโ€™t stop there๐Ÿ™‚โ€โ†”๏ธ

And honestly, the session was eye-opening.

Some of the boys believed mental health was only about mental disorders, while others were hesitant to speak up simply because they were unsure or afraid of saying the โ€œwrongโ€ thingโŒ

But as the session became more interactive, you could literally see the shift happen in real time๐Ÿ’ก

The boys became more open, more curious, and more willing to engage in conversations around mental health. Conversations that many of them had probably never been given the space to have before๐Ÿ’š

But hereโ€™s the twist: ๐˜ธ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฅ๐˜ช๐˜ฅ๐˜ฏโ€™๐˜ต ๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ฐ๐˜ฑ ๐˜ข๐˜ต ๐˜ซ๐˜ถ๐˜ด๐˜ต ๐˜ต๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ฌ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ข๐˜ฃ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ต ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต๐˜ข๐˜ญ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐ŸŒŸ

We also challenged the boys to think creatively and become problem-solvers within their communities by creating innovative projects capable of solving problems around them, with cash prizes on the line!!!๐Ÿ’ฐ๐ŸŽ‰

And this was only Day 1๐Ÿ“Œ

So if thereโ€™s one thing we took away from this session, itโ€™s that sometimes all people need is a ๐˜ด๐˜ข๐˜ง๐˜ฆ ๐˜ด๐˜ฑ๐˜ข๐˜ค๐˜ฆ, the ๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜จ๐˜ฉ๐˜ต ๐˜ค๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ด๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ, and a little push to ๐˜ถ๐˜ฏ๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ค๐˜ฌ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ช๐˜ณ ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐Ÿ’™โšก
