The Center for Hope and Healing, under its Engaging Men and Boys as Allies in Sexual Violence Prevention initiative, is distributing coffee sleeves with the prompt: “Are you a Strong Man?” Clients will then be able to use their phone to link to a video produced by the agency’s 2015 Youth Leadership Corp cohort exploring questions around fatherhood, masculinity, and sexual violence.

You have heard about the challenges in our communities regarding the substance abuse issues; challenges faced every day in every city and town across our Commonwealth and Nation. It truly affects everyone’s life. Despite our efforts, the epidemic continues to grow, and we’re in real danger of losing an entire generation to a disease that has no cure but does have a solution. The solution, like all life-threatening diseases, is making sure that each and every one of us commits time, energy and resources to curtailing and preventing the effects of substance use disorders.
