A free support group welcoming all men offers a place to connect, share, and find resources in a setting grounded in understanding and care. Counted among The Karma House’s longest-running gatherings, it is peer-led and broad in focus rather than centered on recovery or a single issue. Participants can speak openly, build lasting friendships, and talk about mental health, emotions, and life in a nonjudgmental environment. The intention is to challenge stigmas placed on men and redefine strength through community and connection. The conversation is facilitated by Taylor, who is not a licensed mental health professional. He guides the group by creating space for men to offer one another support, feedback, and practical pathways forward, drawing on the unique experiences and perspectives of everyone present. Taylor is a small business owner and advocate for self-development and mental health awareness, and his lived experience with depression, anxiety, and alcoholism fuels his commitment to creating a safe, open space for growth. Meetings take place at The Karma House.
