STR8 MENTAL

OUR SAFE SPACE FOR BLACK MEN

Welcome to our Safe Space for Black Men to unpack various mental health topics through our group virtual and in-person initiatives. Our goal is to increase awareness, access + acceptance of mental wealth amongst black men while building community and brotherhood. Since May of 2020, we've connected over 5,000 black men to mental health specialists leading them to growth, healing, and the prioritization of therapy in their lives.

What We Do

We curate safe spaces for Black Men to fellowship, grow, and heal together while unpacking various mental health topics led by black male therapists and/or mental health advocates in virtual or in-person group setting.

Togetherness

As black men, we're not alone and community matters. Join STR8 Mental to hear and learn from guys nationally on their journey to a better mental health state. Through our initiative, we create spaces for brotherhood.

Services

Through STR8 Mental, we use our data to partner with companies, brands, and organizations in order to connect black men to mental health education and healing.

PROGRAM OFFERINGS

We create safe spaces for young black boys to learn from black men who are leaders in their perspective communities. During these discussions, kids learn/talk about everything from having a father figure, growing up fatherless, mental health, financial health, business/entrepreneurship, and much more.
