The Silent Sons Initiative is proud to release the 2025 Silent Crisis Report, a complimentary digital resource that exposes the truth many would rather ignore: our boys and young men are in crisis. From rising suicide rates to addiction, incarceration, domestic violence, and school shootings, the evidence is clear, silence is costing lives.

For too long, society has told boys to “man up” and keep their emotions buried. But we cannot expect our sons to stop being silent if we, as parents, coaches, educators, and leaders, are not willing to stand up and speak out. We have to stop silencing our sons and start equipping them with the tools to cope, communicate, and lead.
