Mission Statement

At The Common Guy, we believe that every man deserves to live a fulfilling life free from the shadows of mental health struggles. Our mission is to create a supportive community that empowers men to access vital resources to seek the help they need. By normalizing conversations and improve access to mental health resources, we aim to break down barriers and ultimately reduce the stigma that contributes to men's mental health challenges. Together, we envision a world where every man feels valued, understood, and equipped to thrive. Let’s inspire change, uplift each other, and create a brighter future.

Why choose the name ‘The Common Guy’?

The Common Guy reflects that the issue of men’s mental health and suicide does not have one specific identity. It affects men of all backgrounds. It does not matter how much money one has or doesn’t have, what preferences or beliefs one has, ones’ marital status, nor how successful they are or what they do for a living.

Future Services

As The Common Guy continues to develop and grow, 2 services we want to provide in the future are:

1. Weekly Group Check Ins or Men’s Circles. Weekly zoom calls where each man gets to talk uninterrupted and judgement free for 5-10 minutes about their challenges, struggles or just having a place to be heard. They can ask for other men’s input and feedback if they chose or they can just use that time to speak to be heard.

2. Provide professional therapists (either volunteers or retirees) that will provide an initial session for men that have never had any type of professional mental help counseling or therapy to give them a real world experience and expectation as well as set them up with someone on a more permanent basis if desired.
