“We saw that as an issue that there were a lot of boys and young men who didn't have that and that the whole initiative was pulling everybody together over 200 different organizations, mainly here in California, where folks really believed in this and saying that we needed to find policies and shape policies that were going to be able to help our boys and men.”
The comments came during an informational hearing examining technology’s impact on young men’s mental health and sense of purpose.
