H E L L O !
AND WELCOME TO THE
BOYSDONTCRY PROJECT'S
FIRST CONTEST !
∆
« i n t r o d u c t i o n »
This Project helps spread awareness around the gender roles and issues that men and boys alike face. Depression, suicide and other mental health problems are often overlooked.
This one-shot competition, therefore, may be the best way for us to help you understand, spread awareness and subsequently, reach out to those who need help, regardless of gender. We all need to accept that boys cry too.
