A conference and awards ceremony in Kingston, Jamaica, is set to address men's mental health and emotional well-being on June 13. Spearheaded by author and life coach Shareka Swaby, the event aims to create a safe space for men to express their feelings and seek support. The conference, held at the Hope Fellowship Auditorium, will tackle topics such as emotional fitness, leadership, and fatherhood. Swaby noted the need to bridge the gap between emotional suppression and healing, and the event will also recognize men's contributions through an award ceremony. The event, in collaboration with Thriecia Tyndale, will provide certificates of appreciation to all attendees. Keynote speakers will lead discussions on topics like emotional fitness and challenging traditional masculinity. The organizers aim to create a judgment-free environment, with a focus on male participation. Swaby hopes the event will spark a cultural shift in how Jamaican society approaches men's mental health, and the initiative is intended to become an annual event, supported by the HEART Trust and the Ministry of Health.
