Everybody needs help, but men need more help. More men have indulged in drug and substance abuse, neglecting their noble family duty of fatherhood and leadership. There is nothing more fulfilling to a man than fathering his children in the right way and bringing stability to the family. Teenagers are in all sorts of crime because of a fatherhood defect in the family. On the other hand, Toxic masculinity feeds men with this idea that asking for help is feminine, which is a sign of weakness. This is one of the major causes of the suicide rates among men to keep soaring, broken families and misguided society. Men need help! 

Join the conversation with David Burnell, a certified drugs and alcohol counselor. He is a living example that you can recover from any form of addiction, and he is very passionate about helping people. He will help us realize how you can get back to your manhood position, bring balance in the family, overcome the challenges around you and become a better leader in society.
