🎤 RISE ABOVE PRESSURE (RAP) PANEL 🎤
Mental Health Month Finale

Real men. Real talk. Real support.

This May, we're closing out Mental Health Awareness Month with a powerful panel discussion featuring professional men and mentors who are breaking the stigma around vulnerability and mental health.

WHAT IS THE RAP PANEL?
A candid conversation where men discuss:
🗣️ What it means to be vulnerable in a world that tells you to "be strong"
💪 How seeking help is actually a sign of strength
🧠 Managing pressure, stress, and mental health challenges
❤️ Building support systems that work
🤝 Real strategies for coping and thriving

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
✅ Young men (ages 10-17) who want to hear from men who've been there
✅ Parents and guardians who want to understand their son's mental health journey
✅ Mentors and community members invested in breaking the stigma
✅ ANYONE who believes mental health matters

This is NOT a lecture. This is a real conversation with real men who understand the struggle and have found their way through.

📅 DATE: May 30, 2026
⏰ TIME: 1030
📍 LOCATION: Chesapeake Christian Center 300 Liberty Street, Chesapeake, VA 23324
