Becoming Men is a 9-week social group that talks about all things puberty. We’re not just talking about the basics like voice changes and body hair (although these are definitely covered). Each week, we will guide the group through interactive discussions, fun activities, and creative exercises designed to dive into peer pressure, taking care of your mental health, consent, respect, body positivity, and healthy relationships. We provide a safe space for our learners to share their thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of judgment. Our program aims to help boys develop a positive and confident sense of self and equip them with the skills and knowledge they need to thrive throughout this critical stage in their lives. We believe that by providing a supportive community and platform for honest conversations, we can help young men easily navigate puberty’s challenges and set them up for success.

Each session will run for 2 hours and includes food and beverages. Together, we explore topics such as
- Promoting a positive body image and self-esteem.
- Exploring healthy relationships and boundaries.
- Developing problem-solving skills and resilience.
- Understanding body changes and the basics of puberty.
- Navigating social pressures and peer influence.
- Embracing their individuality and celebrating their uniqueness.
