We share the launch of our Three-Part Video Series, Honest Conversations, on young Black men's mental health as well as updates about our new Community Coalition initiative in Washtenaw County.
We're excited to share new updates about YBMen's new work in Australia, our findings from Michigan State University, exploratory work in high schools, as well as our latest intervention on our campus.
We reflect on last year's YBMen's pilot on our campus, reveal our findings from YBMen@OSU, and highlight scholar Janelle Goodwill's publication discussing Black college men's resources and descriptions of social support.
As we begin the tenth year since our inception, we are pleased to report that more boys and men are embracing the principles of our tag line "transforming gender norms, enriching mental health, and engaging social support."
After sending the inaugural issue of the YBMen Newsletter back in January, our team jumped right into analyzing data from the site at Eastern Michigan University (EMU).
At YBMen, we are actively celebrating Men's Health Month (June) and Minority Mental Health Awareness Month (July), and are also deep in data analysis.
The goal of the YBMen Project is exactly what our tag line reads: we aim to improve the lives of young black men by transforming their gender norms, enriching their mental health, and encouraging their engagement in social support.
