Identity crisis
An identity crisis is a period of significant doubt or confusion about one's sense of self. It's often associated with times of transition or change, such as adolescence, but can occur at any age.

"Identity is shaped from the people you are following, pay your attention to and copying the behavior of"
Identifying, fortifying and developing your self identity
Young men today are suffering from an identity crisis at levels that should be ringing alarm bells and the issues are getting worse. In education and social circles, young people are in search, indirectly and directly, for the need of safety, stability and feel good influences like positive role models & leaders, practical & spiritual education, healthy social groups & interactions, personal fulfillment, guidance & direction to help them create their own system of beliefs, values and happiness to develop their identities needed to serve their higher good and preserve their mental health & well being. Most young people's minds are very impressionable and easily impressionable and sometimes gullible minds are susceptible to deceit, trickery and manipulation, so if you're intent on following entertainers/rappers, jokers/pranksters, gangsters/mobsters, scammers/criminals and immoral people in general then, using your own common sense, you're tethering or unknowingly attaching yourselves to the negative suggestions, influences, and the effects it can have over you and your thoughts. You're unwillingly taking on the persona of individuals and groups with a "reprobate mind" or a willingness to "knowingly engage in things, behaviors or activities they know they ought not to do." Whether it's gangster films, black exploitation movies, rap/rock & roll videos or sports entertainment programming people, but in this instance, young men are more susceptible to negative influences & behaviors from certain high risk, masculine archetypes. Identity isn't based off one's achievements, accomplishments or possessions but belief! Yes, people especially young people wholeheartingly believe in the influence, reach and impact of entertainers, celebrities and influencers and respect the man-made influences like fame, awards, money and power instead of intrinsic value like character, honor and integrity. So who are you following? Whom do you believe in and what they stand for? What belief system are you attaching or tethering yourselves to through music, T.V., movies and social media? When did you attach your conscious mind to these influences and can you pinpoint the age?
It is up to you along with correct guidance, mentorship and direction from honorable and impressionable men to help you first disqualify negative outside influences, identify the real issues, rectify the problems, testify how you overcame and solidify your identity to align with your better or higher self!

Own your manhood!
developing into one's Manhood is different from developing into a biological male. The latter occurs naturally in all males while the former has to be guided, mentored and shaped by elder men for the sake of the future livelihood for that male. both have a developmental process and are important to one's overall growth but the end goals and outcomes are totally different. the process of Manhood development does not happen automatically through osmosis so to speak, It takes structure, energy, discipline, time, effort, courage, perseverance and guidance and direction to move from one stage to the other to reach specified goal. development as a biological Male is natural and automatic and usually stops at a certain age and is primally governed by instincts, urges and basic bodily changes that All males go through in the early stages of their lives. Manhood is therefore a process of developmental growth for the betterment of one's own life and the group.
Manhood is a status!
It is a status that must be earned and acheived through merit, competence, compitition, discipline and demonstrations of physical, mental and spiritual strength that must be maintained throughout one's life which other men can measure and judge for the betterment of himself and the group.
so What's your status?
The cultural significance of learning how to tie a necktie
Ask yourself this question, gentlemen! Who taught you how to tie a necktie when you were young? If it was not your father, stepfather or grandfather, then who? Your Uncle? Big brother? Mentor? Teacher? There has to be someone to show a young male by example to teach the basics in tie tying.
The passing down of knowledge for something as simple as showing another younger male how to properly tie a neck or bowtie is a cultural rite of passage that's part of the knowledge transfer process from boys to men, for example. This skill has to be taught by example through repetition. This series of photos encapsulates this knowledge transfer process that is past down to the male children which, in certain circle, will help him navigate the world of business. I just met this young man working as a volunteering for the Brooklyn Prom Project as part of their promwear giveaway to students in need of prom attire. He was shy asking for help picking out a necktie and tying ties, but Director Christian was in the right place at the right time to offer to pass down my knowledge of the skill of necktie tying.
Mentors matters.

H.I.M., Inc. goals are to promote purpose-driven, social-emotional, educational-based learning, skill acquisition & application and mentorship training to prepare school-age, male students and young adult men for school, self and life, so they may ultimately transform into honorable and impressionable men.
Often times, it is perceived that learning and acquiring knowledge & information happens by osmosis and just like that, poof, you're automatically intelligent without putting in the work to learn what it takes to become educated, honorable and impressionable. As a man, you must understand what it takes to become a man that knows the difference between being a good man and being good at being a man.
H.I.M., Inc. believes being a purpose driven organization allows us the benefit of focusing strictly on our organizational mission to serve and support instead of for profit company goals which are driven strictly by gain or profit. It is the purpose vs profit dynamic that people face when starting any worthwhile venture but at the end of the day everyone is profit driven, but not everyone is purpose driven. Mentorship, apprenticeship and educational instruction are the vehicles, we believe, that can propel, assist and empower and uplift the self-esteem, self-worth and self-awareness of all students to boots their individual, academic performance, social awareness and relationship skills and an improvement in overall school-based performance.
H.I.M., Inc has supported and collaborated with thousands of students in school districts in and around the NYC/NJ tri-state and metro DMV areas to achieve their student, staff and school-wide instructional goals and objectives over the last 20 years . We also specialize in structured private-hire tutorial and mentoring sessions for students for additional instructional and academic support programs.

H.I.M.'s mentorship services
Mentorship is the process of imparting wisdom, information, guidance or direction given by a mentor for the specific purpose usually personal growth or professional tutelage. A mentor is someone who teaches and provides guidance, direction and advice to a less experienced and often younger person for their growth and development. The person receiving mentorship may be referred to as a protégé (male), a protégée (female), an apprentice, a learner or, in the 2000s, a mentee.
Mentoring is a relationship-based process that involves at least two people in which one provides direction, guidance and the 3 C's (Clarity, communication and commitment). According to the Business Dictionary, a mentor is a senior or more experienced person who is assigned to function as an advisor, counsellor, or guide to a junior or trainee. The mentor is responsible for offering help and feedback to the person under their supervision. A mentor's role, according to this definition, is to use their experience to help a junior employee by supporting them in their work and career, providing comments on their work, and, most crucially, offering direction to mentees as they work through problems and circumstances at work.

H.I.M. is dedicated through our character-building curriculum, educational hands-on experience and mentoring services to instill our honorable & impressionable core values, beliefs and principles into our boys and supporting them in order for them to become the honorable and impressionable men they need to be. Manhood is not a give-in and it is not automatic, it's a challenging, painstaking and lengthy process that all young males, in some form, indirectly or directly must go through to be considered men. Men need to learn that practicing self-development, self-preservation and self-discipline are the best gifts one can give to oneself to put them in the best position to be their best selves!
Trivia: Males typically use this hand gesture to express what they truly desire in their hearts?
H.I.M. strives to end the stigma in communities of color to seek out professional mental health services. Remember, your health is your wealth! 
follow the green highway signs for honorable directions and guidance on your path and journey towards earning your manhood.
*"Your character will take you places your money can't."
Definition: Character- the mental and moral qualities to any individual. *"The strength of a man is in his character." *"Your character can get you into doors that your money cannot." *"Character is doing the right thing when no one is looking." *"Character is revealed by what a person says and what a person does." 
"Patience is a virtue and the companion of wisdom"
Definition: Wise- Having or showing time-tested experience, knowledge and good judgment. Wisdom is one's ability to think, understand and act using experience and insight to make rational decisions for one's own benefit. Wisdom is not an inborn ability, it must be acquired through lessons, trial and error, observation and experience which then must be exercised over the course of years to gain more and more wisdom. H.I.M.'s words of wisdom! * "The first principle of wisdom is discretion..." * "A wise man can play the part of a clown, but a clown can't play the part of a wise man." * "Fools talk, cowards are silent, [but] wise men listen." * "Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening...." * "Wisdom is the [child] of experience." * To understand the actual world as it is, not as we should wish it to be, is the beginning of wisdom." * A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer." *A man's wisdom is his best friend; folly, his worst enemy." _______________________________________ PROVERBS Proverb- A phrase expressing a basic truth which may be applied to common situations. "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he."
"Your heart is the most precious organ in your body"
Our founder, the Honorable Kwame Christian, continuously promotes to the children he serves to protect their hearts and peace of mind above all because "a heart at peace gives life to the body". Proverbs 14;30 Moreover, one needs to protect their hearts at all cost because "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." Proverbs 4:23 
First impressions are lasting ones 
First impressions can make or break potential new relationships if you're not careful and aware of the science of initial, social interactions. For instance, in the business world research shows that customers form first impressions about their interaction within as little as seven seconds when speaking to customer service agents. Again, the first 7 seconds are the most important because it’s one's observation that provides the information that will help the other person form either a positive or negative first impression of you.
Here are 5 short examples to help you make the absolute best first impressions: 1. Dress how you want to be addressed 2. Smiling is a sign of positivity. 3. Your smile expresses openness 4. Attitude determines your altitude. 5. A firm handshake and steady eye contact is a must! What is the 7 11 rule? If we go by the 7 11 rule, the 7 11 rule says that "people make eleven decisions about us in the first seven seconds of contact." So it is important to make sure your bring your best smile, best attitude and best suit to any potential meet up. An article featured in Psychology Today entitled "First Impressions". asserts that human beings are made to size each other up and process information quickly. First impressions are influenced by a number of factors, such as facial shape & features, attractiveness, vocal inflection, and ones general emotional state. People tend to get attached to their initial impressions of others and find it very difficult to change their opinion, even when presented with lots of evidence to the contrary. Once people form an opinion of someone their minds are set. So it is fair to say it’s important to be aware and conscious of how you comes across to others during a first initial meeting. Remember, it takes a mere seven seconds to make a first impression by someone. People thin-slice others based on how a person looks and sounds, more so than their explicit verbal statements or how nice they may be. Often, someone's first impression is influenced by implicit attitudes of which they are unaware, which explains impulsive actions like giving special preference to those with physical beauty or more easily trusting a person who has a babyface or unfairly judging them based off of preconceived or erroneous notions or assumptions. The observational powers (biases) of the observer are just as important as the qualities projected by the target, or person being judged, making these judgments a constant dance between objective information and selective signal-reading." For more insights into first impressions click on the link https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/first-impressions 
"The mediocre mentor tells, the good mentor explains, the superior mentor demonstrates, the greatest mentors inspire."
We at H.I.M. all know the importance of mentorship and specifically how it made the difference in the life of our founder growing up. So it is fair to say that we are not the only ones who know it's integral having the right mentor in your life in your youth, so we employ you to sign up to becoming an H.I.Mentor today. Mentorship Quotables "We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." "Mentoring is a brain to pick, an ear to listen and a push in the bright direction." "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." "We all need someone who inspires us to do better than we know how." "A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus." "Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn." 
CONFIDENCE
There are 4 types of confidence
Confidence: A state of feeling of self-assurance arising from one's appreciation of one's own abilities and qualities. 1) Confidence that comes from" things." Some of the elders use to say, if you're old enough to remember, "The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away", so tangible things that have perceived, material value in the form assets, items or possessions can be easily taken away, lost or stolen. Consequentially, if your confidence derides from possessing material things then if they are taken away then your confidence can be shaken from that lost of the validation that thing provided. 2) Confidence that comes from your physical or mental abilities. Eventually with time, age or injury, the human body wears down due to attrition and performance dips significantly. Once your youthful abilities and competing days are gone there comes a time if you're esteem is still tied to the glory days of yesteryear then your confidence can go into crisis mode. If things can be taken from you that are tied to your confidence then your core can be shaken." 3) When you are confidence in who you are and possess the ultimate confidence in yourself then the type of confidence can only be taken is by death because you have mastered not having anything be tied to your confidence except for belief in yourself. 4) The ultimate type of confidence one has an ironclad belief and faith in God or whatever higher power you believe in to gain insight, strength, inspiration and clarity in any situation to acquire greater understanding, wisdom and knowledge to overcome one's plight or need. Tips on building one's confidence * Take calculated risk and chances. * Comparison is the thief of joy. * Preparation is essential and necessary. *Challenge yourself to step out your comfort zone. * Rely on your talents, abilities & courage to prove that. *Guard yourself against self doubt. 
Identity- The distinguishing character or personality or sense of being of an individual. Identity Crisis- A period of time of uncertainty of confusion in a person's life. It is said by many that young men today are suffering from a collective identity crisis in cities, towns and boroughs all over the country and it's a societal issue that's not talked about enough. Signs you're having an identity crisis *Questioning your purpose or passion in your life. *Not addressing or healing childhood trauma, issues or other harmful societal influences also exhibiting low esteem, value or self-worth. *Altering or conforming your values or inclinations frequently to match your environment or relationship. *Not trusting your ability to make decisions and to exercise discipline. Identity crisis symptoms *Anxiety *Confusion * Lack of direction * Lack of guidance *Depersonalization *Questioning core values Identity crisis treatments *Therapy *Support from social circles *Journaling *Meditation/relaxation *Self exploration |

Notes from the Executive Director
I am very proud to announce that our organization's holiday family/food drive was again a success! H.I.M. Inc is extremely grateful to all of the board members, donors and local businesses that gave resources, references and funds along with their time, blessings and energy towards this most honorable endeavor. We were able to provide free $100 food gift cards to young fathers and other deserving families in the NYC/Greater Newark area during every the holiday season. "Teamwork makes the dream work" as they say and we certainly could not have achieved the goals set by H.I.M. Inc to ultimately carry this project towards the finishline without the community's help and for that we are grateful, appreciative and humble. This past endeavor was completed in less than 30 days so the ability to raise our monetary benchmark goals in such a short amount of time was even more awe-inspiring. We were able to recruit a couple more volunteers to work with us for future projects which is just another example of the blessings of the unintended positives that came from this goodwill project. Provided below are some pictures and videos of some of the students and families H.I.M. Inc was able to help! I want to truly thank everyone again for assisting H.I.M. Inc with our vision of helping these families in need during the holiday season.
Executive Director, the Honorable Kwame Christian
I am very proud to announce that our organization's holiday family/food drive was again a success! H.I.M. Inc is extremely grateful to all of the board members, donors and local businesses that gave resources, references and funds along with their time, blessings and energy towards this most honorable endeavor. We were able to provide free $100 food gift cards to young fathers and other deserving families in the NYC/Greater Newark area during every the holiday season. "Teamwork makes the dream work" as they say and we certainly could not have achieved the goals set by H.I.M. Inc to ultimately carry this project towards the finishline without the community's help and for that we are grateful, appreciative and humble. This past endeavor was completed in less than 30 days so the ability to raise our monetary benchmark goals in such a short amount of time was even more awe-inspiring.

H.i.m.'s annual
Community service projects
Just a few words of what community members in Newark, New Jersey had to say about H.I.M.'s food, gift card giveaway for deserving families. H.I.M. pulled up and made there day when we offered to help them with their groceries. Our energy and mood was like Oprah Winfrey in ShopRite, "You get a gift card, you get a gift card and you get a gift card." The appreciation, thanks and smiles makes it all worth it.
Are you able to be H.I.M.?
