💙💛 LET’S HAVE SOME REAL TALK. 💛💙

Our boys are navigating a lot — pressure, friendships, expectations, school, social media, emotions, and figuring out who they want to become. Sometimes the most important thing we can do is simply create a space where they feel heard.

Georgia PTA Family Engagement invites boys ages 12+ and their families to:

🗣️ REAL TALK: Boys, Families & Mental Health
Understanding Today’s Boys. Supporting Tomorrow’s Men.
📅 Monday, October 19, 2026
⏰ 7:00–8:30 PM ET
💻 Virtual via Microsoft Teams

This is a safe, respectful, judgment-free conversation where boys and families can listen, ask questions, share perspectives, and talk openly about the challenges young men face today. Real Talk_ Boys, Families & Men…

We’ll hear perspectives from:
💙 Youth voices
💙 Families & caregivers
💙 Mental health professionals
💙 Community leaders & mentors
💙 School and district representatives

Parents, caregivers, educators — bring your boys.
Boys — bring your voice. 🗣️

We can’t support our young men if we aren’t willing to listen to them, learn from them, and have the conversations that matter.

💛 Because silence isn’t the answer — CONNECTION IS.
