Our society is organized to hide death and to shield us from our mortality.

It sets us up to struggle with the concept of grief and death which is inevitable in our lives and the lives of those we love.

I lost my dad last year, as well as a handful of other people throughout my life, and have found that there is a large gap in our ability to process our own and other people’s grief.

Adolescence is tough—there’s no denying it.

Juggling school, friendships, relationships, and all the “firsts” that come with being a teenager can really take a toll on mental health, especially for boys. It doesn’t help that teenage boys often struggle to express how they’re feeling or feel pressured to keep things bottled up because of outdated ideas like “boys shouldn’t cry” or show emotions.
