It's okay to say NO!💚

One of the healthiest things you can do for your mental health is learning to say "no."

Not because you don't care.
Not because you are rude.
But because you understand that your time, energy, and emotional capacity are limited.

The people who genuinely care about you will understand and respect your boundaries.

You are allowed to rest.
You are allowed to decline.
You are allowed to prioritize yourself without feeling guilty.

Your wellbeing matters more. 💚

A new month. A renewed commitment.💚🤍

Healing doesn't happen overnight, but every step you take towards understanding yourself, asking for help and working on yourself is what matters.

Choose kindness toward yourself.
Choose growth over fear.
Choose conversations over silence.
Choose support over suffering alone.

Let's make this a month of courage, compassion and resilience.

Together, we can create a community where mental health is valued.

SEEK HELP !!💚💚

It's okay not to be okay, it's okay to not have all the answers. It's okay to need support. And it's always okay to ask for help.

MONNA TIA WA BUA CAMPAIGN LAUNCH 💚

The launch of Monna Tia Wa Bua reminded us that men’s mental health deserves attention, understanding and action!
Creating spaces where men can speak openly, ask difficult questions, share experiences and access support is important for individual growth and strengthening families, relationships and communities.

Through discussions and moments of engagement, we explored different topics affecting men and practical tools for growth and wellbeing.

Thank you to everyone who attended and participated, you made this event meaningful.

To our guest speakers and facilitator, thank you for sharing your knowledge, lived experiences, time and commitment to advancing these special conversations.

To the Breaking The Ice Network team, volunteers and everyone behind the scenes, thank you for your hard work, coordination and belief in this vision.

This launch is the beginning of a culture where men feel seen, supported and empowered.

Monna Tia Wa Bua, because men’s mental health matters. 💚

| TAKING THE CONVERSATION TO SCHOOLS | 💚💚

On Friday 19 June, Breaking The Ice Network (BTI) hosted Mental Health Awareness Workshops at Lorwana Primary School, Digawana Primary School, Molapowabojang Primary School, and Chichi Hill JSS as part of our build up to the BTI Football Tournament 3.0 taking place on 27 June 2026 at Nthwalang JSS.

Through interactive conversations with learners, we explored mental health awareness, discipline, healthy relationships, abuse, counselling, support structures and the importance of speaking up. We reminded students that mental health matters at every age and that asking for help, expressing emotions and supporting one another are signs of strength.

Together with Botswana Youth Ahead Organization (BOYAO) at Lorwana and Digawana, and Abigail Mmoshe at Chichi Hill JSS, we also used the opportunity to activate and invite the school communities to join us at the tournament for meaningful conversations around mental health and empowerment.

The energy and participation from learners reminded us that creating change starts early. When young people are given safe spaces to speak, listen, and learn, we build stronger and healthier communities.
Lore lo ojwa le sale metsi!💚

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY 💚

Today we celebrate fathers, father figures and every man showing up with love, strength and presence.

Being a father is more than providing; it is listening, guiding, protecting, showing emotion and creating safe spaces for those who look up to you.

This Father’s Day, we encourage all men to take care of their mental health and seek professional help when in need. Speaking up is a sign of Strength.💚💚
