About

Welcome to The MENtal Mix, a community committed to breaking down barriers and advocating for men's mental health.

OUR MISSION

At The MENtal Mix, our mission is clear

We provide men with the resources, support, and connections they need to prioritize their mental health and well-being. By offering a platform for open communication and collaboration, we strive to reduce the alarming rates of suicide among men and address the challenges of mental health like anxiety and depression head-on. Through our events, programs, and initiatives, we are committed to creating a supportive environment where men can find strength, hope, and community in their journey towards better mental health.

How The MENtal Mix Began

The MENtal Mix was founded by Tony Harris, a Licensed Therapist who recognized a gap in mental health services specifically tailored for men. Drawing from his experiences in social work and passion for men's well-being, Tony established The MENtal Mix as a safe haven for men to connect, communicate, and collaborate on their mental health journey.

The Catalyst Behind the Creation

What started as simple meetups during the pandemic in the apartment of our founder, became the catalyst for creating The Mental Mix. We are a dedicated safe space for men to come together, connect, communicate, and collaborate on the crucial topic of mental health and well-being. Through engaging events, transformative programs, and insightful live panel discussions, we aim to create a supportive community where men can prioritize their mental health without stigma or judgment. At The Mental Mix, we believe in the power of shared experiences and open dialogue to foster growth, resilience, and positive change.
