The fourth session of our Cryin' with Ryan: Exploring the Masculine Self Through Adoption series again aims to confront the often hidden and painful truths that many male-identifying adoptees face: intense feelings of loss, identity confusion, depression and anxiety, suicidality, and substance use.

These challenges are often ignored or silently suffered in isolation. This session intends to create a safe, supportive space where male-identifying adoptees can come together to share their stories, find understanding, and exchange observations. It is a call to acknowledge the severity of these struggles and to ensure that we are not overlooking the urgent mental health crises impacting our community.

You do not need to have attended previous sessions to join this event.
