Is This You?
Young Men (Ages 12–17)
If any of these feel true for you, this brotherhood may help:
I feel alone or like no one understands me
I don’t have someone I can talk to
I feel incomplete or unsure of myself
I struggle with anger or controlling my emotions
I wish I had a strong male role model in my life
I’m trying to figure out who I am and where I belong
Adult Men (Ages 18–80)
Our programs focus on strengthening every aspect of a man’s life:
I’m feeling lonely, isolated, or disrespected
I don’t talk with anyone because no one understands
My friends aren’t married and don’t have children
I have strong feelings for other men
I don’t know how to be a father when my son doesn’t live with me
Anger and lack of control are affecting my family and career
I feel incomplete because my mother is raising me
I’m having trouble navigating through life without law enforcement
I never heard a man say “I love you” to me and show it
It’s difficult to take ownership of my thoughts, feelings, and behavior
I can’t decide when it’s time to settle down with one person
I believe my father’s absence has shown me not to show up for my kids
