HEALTH AND WELLNESS

 Prostate, lung, and colorectal cancers account for an estimated 43% of all cancers diagnosed in men in 2020. For women, the three most common cancers are breast, lung, and colorectal, and they will account for an estimated 50% of all new cancer diagnoses in women in 2020.  We partner with local agencies on cancer screenings and education.

 In addition to helping with HIV prevention, education increases the tolerance and empathy of individuals who have contracted the disease. By addressing fears and changing attitudes, education reduces discrimination and stigmas – the leading causes for HIV positive children and adolescents to drop out of school.

Now more than ever, people across the country realize that mental health is just as important as physical.  From insecurities to depression to behavior problems, we seek to help young men understand their mental health and find healthy coping mechanisms to deal with their issues.
