Kru Ja is a public figure in Pattaya, known for his lifelong work with impoverished, abused and trafficked children.
We were grateful to him and his team for opening the doors of the Pattaya shelter to us and for supporting our research over several months last year.

On 10th of October we celebrated World Mental Health Day!
In our research we ask boys and young men who have gone through experiences of trafficking or exploitation to describe some of the psychological and emotional challenges they have had to face and what helps them cope.
To facilitate the conversation, we use visual aids. The one in picture was used to talk about some of the signs that might show we are struggling.

Another week spent talking to the wonderful and dedicated people working to help boys and young men recover from difficult experiences and help them on the path to a better future!

We will soon share more information about the great organisations in Samut Sakhon, Samut Prakan and Chonburi provinces that have supported our research…

Since 1949 in the United States, the month of May is dedicated to raising awareness around mental health and mental illness.

Many people across the world, including men and boys, too often feel stigmatised for speaking up about their mental health.

It takes a lot of courage to open up about these issues and seeking help is NOT a sign of weakness!

Take care of yourself, take care of people around you…

Minds matter!

Did you know that 1 in 13 boys experience s*xual abuse?

The 16th of April is Blue Umbrella Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness on s*xual violence against boys and young men.

Let us not forget that boys and men can also be victims of all forms of violence, abuse and exploitation.
