Journeys to Manhood with Chad Chafee

"Maybe they just need to talk to you. Maybe they need to unload everything they have. Let them talk," said Upper School History Teacher Chad Chafee. On February 27, 2023, as part of the Center for the Study of Boys Journeys to Manhood speaker series, Chafee shared a powerful story of a family member who struggled with addiction and the importance of our boys being there for each other, if even just to listen during hard times. "I want the boys to know that you can always ask for help," said Chafee. "And whatever we can do to get the person through that problem, we should be willing to help to the best of our abilities."
