"Empowering Communication: Nurturing Boys into Respectful Men"

Award-winning health educator Christopher Pepper emphasizes the importance of better conversations with boys to address the challenges faced by men, starting from boyhood. He suggests building trust before discussing difficult topics, modeling emotional expression and care, engaging in critical thinking, and creating spaces for boys to grow socially and emotionally. Pepper also encourages adults to treat boys as individuals and recognize their humanity, offering mentoring and job opportunities to help them develop into better men.
