What we think, we become

Male Mental Health Community Roundtables Initiative

We are excited to launch our “Male Mental Health Community Roundtables Initiative”, which is designed to understand the mental health experiences of men and boys, and address gaps in the current mental health system(s), which disproportionately and negatively impacts men and boys- particularly B/AA men and other men of color. This initiative will be based on data collected from our Male Mini-Mental Health Surveys and focus groups. The data will be analyzed and presented at Male Mental Health Community Roundtables in cities throughout the state of Ohio.

Walking is a lifestyle and way of life

Walking Support Groups For Men

Research shows that a mere 10 minutes out in a nature increased happiness and lessened physical and mental stress according to a 2020 Cornell University study. A 2018 study demonstrated that when people were out in nature, they tend to become calmer and they develop social identities like a sense of community and shared sense of purpose and belonging. Yet, 72% of people that participated in outdoor recreational activities in 2020 were white compared to only 9% of Black and African Americans.  Research has also found that walking groups are safe, effective,  and provide a variety of health benefits.
