God’s approval is enough.

@ChiromoHospGrp "Survival of the fittest, the world is a jungle, high competitiveness", these are a heavy burden on the African Boy child's shoulders. A man cannot be allowed a day to just take time out and rest because patriachy says no. My heart bleeds for the boy child.

@ChiromoHospGrp They assume boychild knows the way or boychild does not need direction. This leads to dropouts in school, substance and drug abuse, sexual abuse and criminal activities. It has also set girls and boys into competition.

@ChiromoHospGrp @G_Mbugua1 No to little support and understanding from people closest to them even when they open up.
Unemployment or no job hence they are not able to provide as 'expected' it's a big one.

[Shirlene Macharia @ShirleneMachar2]

@ChiromoHospGrp It creates a gap. A 2 steps forward and 4 steps backwards kind of thing.Low self esteem, depression and resentment

[Shirlene Macharia @ShirleneMachar2]

@ChiromoHospGrp Men will continue to suffer mentally trying to live up to it's expectations unless they start unlearning and learning practices that will favor them

[Shirlene Macharia @ShirleneMachar2]

@ChiromoHospGrp The African boychild is 'expected' to be strong not only physically but also mentally, they are not allowed to do go through some things publicly, "not everybody has to know" type of thing. In some instances even when they seek help the societal expectations overrides that.

[Chiromo Hospital Group @ChiromoHospGrp]

Mark your calendars...

We are leaving no one behind!

This conversation is open to the public.

Tell a friend, let's all join hands...

#TufungukeNaBoyChild this #MensHealthMonth

[Chiromo Hospital Group @ChiromoHospGrp]

It is in that same spirit that CHG brings together over 100 individuals from 8 different African Countries for an Africa Tweetchat this coming Monday from 10-11AM to unpack 'THE MENTAL HEALTH OF THE AFRICAN BOYCHILD' to honor #MensHealthMonth and celebrate the African Boy Child.

[Chiromo Hospital Group @ChiromoHospGrp]

While it is true that most boys grow up in environments that force them to be tough and emotionally closed off, it is only fair to create a much better environment that involves opening up to the right people for help

(The Standard)

[Chiromo Hospital Group @ChiromoHospGrp]

Well, many people have gotten into the trap of defending the girl-child so much that we have forgotten that the boy-child is still a human being and deserves respect and healthy attention.

(The Standard)

[Chiromo Hospital Group @ChiromoHospGrp]

For a long time, the term boy-child has been associated with strength, masculinity, and everything that does not involve crying or being weak.

(The Standard)

[Fact @Fact]

People will not always tell you how they feel, but they will show you. Pay attention.

It is healthier to sleep in the nude than with clothes on.

Believe in yourself, even when everyone else doesn’t.
