Breakthrough is a community of men dedicated to making real changes in the quality of men’s lives, helping men to live deeply-felt, richer, happier and more fulfilling lives. More than 3000 local men have graduated our program. Breakthrough is a non-profit organization founded and created in 1987 by Fred Jealous, a community leader and teacher, to provide men with skills to free themselves from non-productive, painful, or abusive aspects of their lives. For each Breakthrough graduate, this includes gaining the ability to eliminate negative self-images, and to take control of anger, fear, addictions, shame, and hopelessness. Breakthrough graduates discover their true power as men, and begin to realize their full potential as fathers, husbands, partners, friends, and as leaders. This is accomplished in a way which respects and honors each man’s uniqueness and personal history, as well as that of the other people in their lives. The Breakthrough program offers all of this in a supportive group-learning setting in Monterey County. Breakthrough provides a resource for men who want to reassess and enhance the direction of their lives. Our highly credible success in doing so is well documented in a 2-year study by Blue Shield of California Foundation , with more than 1600 graduates of our programs.

How do you show up in the most important relationship you’ll ever have?

It isn’t with your partner.
It isn’t with your boss.
It isn’t with your friends.

It’s with yourself.

Often men are not taught to pause and examine that relationship, yet it quietly shapes everything else.

If you’re curious what that really means, watch the video.

It might shift more than you expect.

Curious about men’s work?

For four Tuesdays — February 25 through March 17 — we’re hosting free Town Hall Q&A sessions from 4–5 PM at our Monterey office.

What is men’s work?
Why does it matter?
Is it relevant to someone you love?

These sessions are open to everyone — men and women, alumni and newcomers alike.

No cost. No pressure. Just honest conversation.

📍 248 Pearl Street, Monterey
🕓 Tuesdays, 4–5 PM

Come ask your questions.
You might be surprised by the answers.

There comes a moment in every man’s life when what is no longer works, and what’s next feels blocked, distant, or just out of reach.

That moment is not a failure. It’s an invitation.

For nearly 40 years, Breakthrough Men’s Community has helped men meet that turning point with clarity, courage, and purpose.

If something in your life is ready to change, we have the tools. The only requirement is the willingness to trust yourself enough to face what’s hard, and release what no longer serves you.

At Breakthrough, we promise a few powerful outcomes:
• You will become a better listener
• You will become a better father
• You will know yourself more deeply than ever before

Knowledge is power.
Community is strength.
You are enough.

Join us for a free introductory session on Zoom every Wednesday.
Or reach out for a personal consultation to see if Breakthrough is right for you.

Men, this is your opportunity, don’t let it pass you by.

For nearly four decades, Breakthrough has helped men break old patterns, build emotional clarity, and develop real, practiced communication and self-leadership skills that carry into their relationships, families, and work.

Our next Breakthrough workshop begins in April, and registration is open now.
This is a limited window. When registration closes, it closes.

This isn’t therapy.
It isn’t motivational talk.
It’s transformational work done in community.

If you’ve been telling yourself “someday,” this is that moment. Don’t wait until the door has already closed.

Free introductory sessions are happening now.
This is your chance to learn what the work is and decide if it’s right for you before space fills.

Breakthrough in the Community

We were proud to participate in the Addiction Summit hosted by Bridge Restoration Community last Thursday, January 29.

Breakthrough hosted an informational table to share our work, and our Executive Director joined a panel discussion on mental health and addiction. Again and again, our community-based tools show their value in helping people stabilize, reconnect, and sustain long-term sobriety.

In addition to supporting recovery and men’s mental health, we’re once again voluntary to support the Lifetime Sea Otter Classic bicycle event at Laguna Secca Raceway!

Each volunteer our breakthrough provides Is rewarded with cash donations from the CR classic foundation to support our work. We have some choice volunteer shift assignments available. Find information and register to volunteer here: https://www.breakthroughformen.org/events/sea-otter-classic-volunteers

Are You Tired of Waiting for Love?

Do you feel like love is something you’re still waiting for, or working harder than you should to hold onto?

Join us for A Journey to Love, an in-person, coed workshop exploring self-love as the foundation for loving others, deepening committed love beyond just “being in love”, and parental love for all the children in your life.

Who in your life would you like to build an even stronger, more grounded love with? Friends, partners, men, women, people you want to share life with more honestly.

This workshop introduces the basic Breakthrough language and practices, including the 5As of Love, so you can bring them into your real relationships, not just the room.

🗓 Wednesdays in February only, 6:30–8:30 PM
📍 Monterey
📅 Beginning February 4

You don’t have to wait for love, once you learn to express where it is already alive inside you.

even though this is an advertisement, I think this little vignette speaks volumes about how different attachment styles can play out in relationship among loving people. Hard conversations are often needed to maintain intimacy and increase security within a relationship.

The breakthrough workshops provide men a toolbox to have these conversations safely.

There’s something wonderful about more.
A little more time with friends, a little more laughter, a little more sweetness in the day.

Right now, there’s a special kind of more happening. Through Monterey County Gives, donations to Breakthrough are matched, which means your generosity goes even further.

We’re just two weeks from our goal, and every gift helps, whether it’s $5 or $500. Each dollar is an opportunity for one more man to live with a whole heart.
