💙 International Men’s Day: Let’s Talk About Men’s Mental Health 💙

As we mark International Men’s Day, we honour the men in our lives – fathers, sons, brothers, husbands, colleagues and friends. Behind many smiles are silent battles that often go unseen and unheard.

This month at Kenya Institute of Professional Counselling (KIPC), our webinars will focus on Men’s Mental Health and how we, as a community, can work together to:

* Create safe spaces for men to speak openly
* Listen without judgement
* Encourage men to seek help and support
* Challenge harmful beliefs like “a man must always be strong”

🧠 Men’s feelings are valid. Men’s struggles are real. Men’s mental health matters.

If you’re not yet on our Webinar group, we invite you to join using the link below and be part of these important conversations.

Countless dreams are left unfulfilled simply because people quit just moments before success was within their grasp. – Olivia Wilson

Most of us don’t give up because we’re weak.
We give up because:

- The results seem too slow
- The criticism feels too loud
- The obstacles look too big
- We convince ourselves “maybe it’s not meant for me”

But what if you are closer than you think?
What if the next call, the next attempt, the next exam, the next application…
…is the one that changes everything?

You won’t know how close you were if you walk away now.

Today, instead of quitting:

- Take a break, but don’t abandon the dream.
- Adjust your strategy, not your goal.
- Remind yourself why you started.
- Do one small thing that moves you forward.

Your future self is already cheering you on for not giving up at this exact stage.
Don’t let a temporary feeling make a permanent decision about your dreams.

Keep going you might be just moments away. 💫

🗓️ Date: 14th November 2025

🕖 Time: 7.00pm to 9.00pm

📍 Google Meet: https://meet.google.com/azw-jkch-thz

Infidelity can leave deep emotional scars shaking the very foundation of trust, love, and intimacy in a relationship. 💔
But is forgiveness truly possible after betrayal? And what does healing look like for both partners and individuals?

Join us for an honest and insightful conversation as we explore the journey from heartbreak to healing, and whether relationships can truly recover after infidelity.

This session will focus on:
✨ Types of cheating — emotional, physical, digital, and more
✨ Common reasons for cheating — understanding the different motivations for men and women
✨ How to move past infidelity — individually and as a couple
✨ How forgiveness looks like — what it means to truly forgive and rebuild trust

Let’s hold space for reflection, compassion, and growth as we unpack one of the most challenging yet transformative aspects of human relationships. 🌱

🖊️ The Power of Journaling: A Simple Habit with Life-Changing Benefits

Journaling isn’t just about writing down your thoughts; it’s about understanding yourself better. Taking a few minutes each day to put your thoughts on paper can help you process emotions, reduce stress, and gain clarity in ways that talking alone sometimes can’t.

Here’s why journaling is worth making a daily habit:

✨ 1. Improves Emotional Awareness
Writing helps you recognize and name what you’re truly feeling, the first step toward emotional healing.

🧠 2. Reduces Stress & Anxiety
Releasing your thoughts onto paper helps clear your mind, making it easier to manage overwhelming emotions and calm your nervous system.

🎯 3. Boosts Focus & Productivity
Journaling helps you prioritize, set goals, and stay accountable to yourself. It turns intentions into actionable plans.

💬 4. Strengthens Self-Reflection
When you revisit past entries, you see how much you’ve grown: your progress, lessons learned, and moments of strength.

❤️ 5. Encourages Gratitude & Positivity

Keeping a gratitude journal trains your mind to notice what’s good, even on hard days.

Start small, one page a day, or even a few lines before bed.
Your journal can become your safe space a mirror to your inner world and a companion in your growth journey.

💞 Let’s Talk About Attachment Styles

Have you ever wondered why you react a certain way in relationships why you pull closer, shut down, or feel anxious when things get tough? The answer often lies in your attachment style.

Our attachment style forms in childhood based on how our caregivers responded to our needs. It becomes the blueprint for how we connect with others throughout life, including friends, partners, and even colleagues.

Here are the four main types:

✨ Secure Attachment: You’re comfortable with both closeness and independence. You trust others, communicate openly, and feel safe giving and receiving love.

💫 Anxious Attachment: You deeply value connection but often fear rejection or abandonment. You may overthink relationships or worry that others don’t care as much as you do.

🌿 Avoidant Attachment: You pride yourself on independence and self-reliance, but emotional intimacy can feel overwhelming. You might distance yourself when things get too close.

🔥 Disorganized Attachment: You crave love yet fear it at the same time. This push and pull often stems from past trauma or inconsistent caregiving.

The good news? 🌻
Your attachment style isn’t fixed. With self-awareness, therapy, and safe relationships, you can heal and move toward a more secure attachment, where love feels safe, steady, and mutual.

💬 Understanding your attachment style is the first step toward building deeper, healthier connections with others and with yourself.

Children experience grief too but often, they don’t have the words to express it. Whether it’s the loss of a loved one, a pet, a parent’s separation, or even a move to a new school, such changes can deeply affect them in ways adults might overlook. 💔

In this week’s session, we’ll explore:
🌱 How children understand and process loss
🧸 Healthy ways to help them express grief
💬 The do’s and don’ts when talking to children about loss
💚 How caregivers and parents can create a safe space for healing

Every child deserves the chance to heal, to feel, and to be understood. Join us as we learn how to walk with them through loss and guide them toward emotional resilience.
