The Rooted & Rising Men program by The Family Advocates Canada is a 20-month, research-based initiative that takes place on the first Saturday of each month, creating a culturally safe space for immigrant men to reflect, grow, and build community. Through storytelling, mentorship, and emotional exploration, men develop deeper self-awareness, healthy relationship skills, and collective healing.

Program Objectives:

  1. Promote emotional wellness by normalizing mental health conversations.
  2. Strengthen relationships through emotional intelligence and conflict resolution.
  3. Foster cultural identity and belonging in immigrant communities.
  4. Redefine masculinity by challenging harmful stereotypes.
  5. Build legacy and leadership through mentorship and community engagement.

 

Day: The first Saturday of every month, mark your calendar.  

Time: 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM  

Location: 8500 Macleod Trail SE, Calgary, AB, T2H 2N1
