#BuddyUp seeks to promote authentic conversations among men and their buddies. When men are working with their hands, it makes it easier for them to talk. Get together with a buddy and work on a project together. https://t.co/q4F0aSXpAC

This week, work on a project with a buddy. While you’re working, you might ask how they’re really doing, or you might just have a good time working together. Either way, spending time together can deepen connections. https://t.co/q4F0aSXpAC #BuddyUp

Caring conversations matter – the vast majority of people who attempt suicide and receive a caring intervention do not re-attempt. We teach people how to skillfully respond to people in crisis. https://t.co/ADnc37nzYG
