Here are four helpful tips you and your children may want to start implementing!👇
1️⃣. 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘢 𝘑𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘭 – Tracking your day-to-day mood can give you time to pause and reflect on how you’re feeling, especially if you’ve noticed that you’re particularly upset or depressed. It’s also a good way to record important milestones and positive, exciting things that are going on in your life.
2️⃣. 𝘜𝘯𝘱𝘭𝘶𝘨 – Most of the things we do and tasks we have require technology to some degree. But, taking some time off of computers and phones can be a helpful way to clear your mind and spend a few quiet moments to yourself.
3️⃣. 𝘔𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘓𝘪𝘴𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘊𝘰𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘦𝘴 – Sometimes, when stressful situations or emotions arise, it can be difficult to cope. Creating a physical list of soothing activities can be a helpful visual reminder. Anything can be on this list as long as it is comforting to you and not harmful!
4️⃣. 𝘈𝘴𝘬 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘏𝘦𝘭𝘱 – Requesting help is not easy, but it is sometimes necessary. If you’re starting to feel overwhelmed, reach out to someone you trust. Create a network of friends and others (teachers, extended family, etc.) who you can fall back on for support.
If you want more information on these steps, or just someone to talk to, the Yunion is here to support you! Feel free to send us a message and we’d be happy to help! 💙
RECEIVING AFFIRMATION
My brothers: When we cannot receive love and affirmation from each other—we will never be able to attain the healing we so desperately desire. Living in a state of heartache, wearies the soul and takes the life out of living. I know this pain so well, which is why I #CryLikeAMan daily until we can collectively heal and be whole.

The path to healing isn’t easy—comprehensive manhood requires courageous transparency. As long as we are more concerned about our image, the pain will always stay within—suppressing what we really feel and who we really are.

Brother Devon, I too allowed misconstrued masculinity hinder my expression of love for my daughter. I will never forget when she slammed her finger in my car door at 8 years old. She showed no emotion to the pain because at that time in my life, I didn’t know how to #CryLikeAMan—I just a male defined only by masculine attributes.
