Bold Transformations Charity Is Shining a Spotlight on Young Men's Mental Health

We are facing a mental health crisis with young men struggling with mental health and addiction at unprecedented rates.

A 2019 study by the Centers for Disease Control found that nearly 19% of high school students seriously considered suicide and 9% attempted suicide. Young men are 3 times more likely to die by suicide compared with women. This epidemic affects all our communities and many of us have kids of our own struggling with mental health and addiction issues. 

The goal of Bold Transformations is to help young men improve their self-esteem, self-worth, sense of community, resilience and hope for the future by facilitating partnerships with existing organizations that have demonstrated excellence.

Bold Transformations is a nonprofit organization facilitating partnerships with existing community organizations aiming to:

  • Help young men improve self-esteem, self-worth, sense of community, resilience and hope for the future.

  • Improve awareness and access to mental health, addiction, and suicide prevention resources for young men.

  • Remove the stigma associated with seeking treatment.

If you or anyone you know is considering suicide or having suicidal thoughts, please call or text the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988. The Lifeline provides 24-hour, confidential support to anyone in suicidal crisis or emotional distress. Call 911 or proceed to the nearest emergency room in life-threatening situations.
