What better way to begin Men’s Mental Health Month than with the induction of CROWNED Coaching Programme – Cohort II: Safe Men Edition? 👑
Yesterday, we officially welcomed and inducted 50 young men from Zambia, Namibia, Kenya, Ghana, and Nigeria into a journey of growth, leadership, and transformation.
Following an intensive selection process, these gentlemen were chosen from a pool of applicants who demonstrated a desire to grow beyond academic achievement and invest in becoming intentional leaders, responsible citizens, and advocates for positive change.
The Safe Men Edition was born from a simple but important belief: that young men need spaces where they can learn, reflect, ask difficult questions, and develop the skills required to lead themselves and others well. Spaces where strength is not measured by silence, but by self-awareness, accountability, and courage.
Over the next 12 sessions, participants will engage in conversations on mental health, identity, responsible masculinity, gender equality, leadership, financial literacy, entrepreneurship, governance, public speaking, resource mobilization, and community impact.
As we marked the beginning of this journey, we are reminded that building better societies requires intentional investment in young men and women alike. We cannot speak about safer communities, healthier relationships, and stronger leadership without creating opportunities for young men to learn, unlearn, and grow.
To our new cohort, welcome to the journey. The work starts now.
