MEN’S MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS — AND IT’S TIME WE TALK ABOUT IT.
This Thursday, Voice1Africa is hosting a special Men’s Mental Health Conversation titled:
“The Weight We Carry: Young Men, Pressure & Mental Well‑Being in Africa.”
Across the continent, young men are navigating expectations, financial pressure, identity struggles, family responsibilities, and emotional battles they often feel they must face alone. Too many suffer in silence. Too many break under the weight.
This event brings together psychologists, mental health advocates, youth leaders, and storytellers from across Africa to open up a brave, honest, and healing conversation.
🗓 Date: Thursday, 18 June 2026
⏰ Time: 6 PM GMT | 7 PM WAT | 8 PM SAST
