The Mental Health Hub for Men (MHHB) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to enhancing men's mental wellness through evidence-based therapies, expert guidance, and culturally sensitive programs. We empower men to navigate life's challenges, foster resilience, and achieve emotional well-being in a confidential and supportive environment.
a word from the founder
The foundation of The Mental Health Hub For Men is deeply personal. I’ve been touched by the heartbreaking loss of both a son and a close relative to mental health struggles—losses that forever changed me and fueled my passion to make a meaningful difference. These experiences opened my eyes to the unique challenges that young boys and men face when it comes to mental health.
For far too long, men have been pressured to “man up” or “tough it out,” perpetuating the dangerous stigma that leaves many suffering in silence. This harmful expectation is costing lives—men are four times more likely to die by suicide than women. This is why I created The Mental Health Hub For Men.
Our mission is clear yet vital: to empower and educate men and boys to openly talk about mental health. We aim to break down myths, share real, humanizing stories of mental illness, and provide a platform for access to resources that promote wellness and healing.
With my background in strategy and IT consulting, I’ve learned how technology can serve as a powerful tool for positive change. Holding an undergraduate degree in Management Information Systems from the University of Illinois (Champaign-Urbana) and an MBA from the University of Rochester, I’m leveraging my expertise in partnership with mental health professionals to build a platform where men can find understanding, support, and resources to embark on a path toward better mental health.
To every man out there who is struggling: you are not alone. Seeking help is not a sign of weakness—it’s a sign of strength. Together, we can break the silence and redefine what it means to be strong.

Our Vision
We envision a world where boys and men have the knowledge and resources to access their innate power to heal themselves, their families, and their communities. At MHHB, we understand that traditional approaches to mental health services may not always align with men's preferences or communication styles. That's why we've developed innovative programs and resources that offer practical, action-oriented solutions to help men navigate life's challenges, build resilience, and improve their overall well-being.
Our Mission is Clear
Empower men to overcome life's challenges through personalized resources, professional guidance, and holistic interventions that address mental, physical, Financial, and emotional well-being.
We focus on:
- Suicide prevention
- Veteran and military support
- Youth and adult wellness programs (13-19 yrs)
- Unique needs of the East African men in Diaspora (North America, Europe, and Australia)
- Breaking the stigma around men's emotional health
- Comprehensive, judgment-free support
MHHB helps men of all ages build resilience, find connections, and rediscover hope by creating safe spaces and offering practical solutions. Together, we can change the narrative and support men's journey to healing while building resilient families and communities.
