On Thursday 19 May, the Men-of-Options officially launched their testimonial DVD. The need to counsel men and to address men's issues is at the core of this initiative. The DVD, produced by John de Vries, highlights the stories of local men who overcame challenging circumstances in their lives such as drug and alcohol abuse, HIV/AIDS, and family abuse.
When the DVD is shown men and boys are given the opportunity to make a commitment to take responsibility. Those who make that decision are given an embossed armband that says "I choose responsibility" to remind them of their commitment. The men are also invited to a monthly braai or dinner. In May and June, 216 men and boys viewed the Men of Options DVD.
