FIGHTING FOR MEN'S MENTAL HEALTH

The Iwo Jima Memorial captured a moment of unity, sacrifice, and brotherhood under pressure. It symbolized men refusing to quit when the weight was heavy and the mission really mattered--lives depends on their success.

Today, many men are still fighting-- just on a different battlefield. Not with rifles, or on foreign soil, but in silence. Negative self-talk, loneliness, lack of purpose and fulfillment, severe mental illnesses, and the pressure to hold everything all together...with a smile.

This is what the I Love You Bro Project stands for.
Men lifting each other.
Bros refusing to let another bro carry the weight alone.

The Four Pillars of Care for the I Love You Bro Project and Men's Mental Healthcare:
1) Availability
2) Accessibility
3) Affordability
4) Acceptability

Our Four Foundational Programs for Men's Mental Health and Su***de Prevention:
➖Free Weekly Support Groups for Men (throughout Utah)
➖Free Monthly Mental Health Clinical Workshops for Men
➖Free Monthly Social Connection Activities for Men
➖Free Monthly Mental Health Clinical Support Workshops for Women

Men who choose to participate in our programs:
📊67% have better relationships
📊78% feel better about themselves
📊81% feel a new sense of purpose
📊94% now feel that they're not alone in their struggles

📊87% of men who are suffering with su***de ideation report that their attendance and participation in our programs has literally saved their life.

We are fighting, with every breath, for the lives of Men.

The war has changed, but the brotherhood hasn’t.

We fight together.
We heal together.
We rise together.

HUG THE BROS IN YOUR LIFE.

📊When in an emotional or mental health crisis, 33% of men report that they feel the most supported through physical touch (hugs, affection).

Please, hug the bros in our life.

------------------------------
📊As an evidence-based organization, all I Love You Bro Project su***de prevention programs are directed by data and data analysis. We use collected data from our weekly support groups and mental health workshops, along with anecdotal data collected through interviews, surveys, and observation to point our su***de prevention programs.

***It should be noted that our data reflects the thoughts and feelings of men who are actually attending a su***de prevention program for themselves--data representing men who are more comfortable reaching out for help. The assumption therefore is that the thoughts and feelings of the general population of men are actually worse than our data suggests***

BROS - YOU'RE ALLOWED TO..

Sometimes the strongest move we can make is giving ourselves permission to be freaking human.

Here are the reminders from the image, plus a simple way to put in the ⚒️work⚒️ for each:

"You're allowed to..

〰️Allowed to take space
⚒️Communicate clearly and respectfully when needing time alone--a simple “I need a little time to reset” builds trust and boundaries.

〰️Allowed to feel tired
⚒️Prioritize real rest (sleep, breaks, unplug time) instead of just pushing through exhaustion.

〰️Allowed to need support
⚒️Reach out to one trusted connection each week — this works best when it becomes a habit, not a last resort.

〰️Allowed to mess up
⚒️Own the mistake, repair what can be repaired, and focus on the lesson instead of the shame spiral.

〰️Allowed to move on
⚒️When something is outside our control, shift energy toward what can actually be influenced today.

〰️Allowed to let go
⚒️Write down what’s being carried that no longer serves--then intentionally release one piece at a time.

〰️Allowed to pause
⚒️Practice the 90-second pause when emotions spike--breathe slowly, feet on the ground, let the nervous system settle.

〰️Allowed to rest
⚒️Schedule recovery the SAME WAY your work gets scheduled--if it’s not on the Google calendar, it usually doesn’t happen.

〰️Allowed to not be strong today
⚒️Name the real feeling out loud (“I’m struggling today”)--vulnerability reduces pressure and increases support.

〰️Allowed to not know yet
⚒️Replace urgency with curiosity--gather information before forcing big decisions.

〰️Allowed to choose differently
⚒️When patterns aren’t working, make one small behavior change instead of trying to overhaul everything at once.

You're allowed, bro.
You have permission.
Choose to use it!

❤️About the SLC Trash Collective:
After losing her son Ryland (pictured on flyer) to su***de, Kathy Kirby is turning grief into purpose through her organization, the SLC Trash Collective. Her family is carrying forward a two-fold mission: continue Ryland’s passion for beautifying Utah through community cleanups, and raise awareness around su***de prevention and mental health resources.

Kathy says anyone who wants to help can start simple — grab a trash bag, join a cleanup wherever they are, and share the impact!

JUST BECAUSE IT "FEELS" LIKE RELIEF, DOESN'T MEAN IT'S "HEALING"

When stress, loneliness, boredom, or overwhelm hit, it’s easy to reach for the quickest escape.

📊83% of the men in our weekly support groups view or actively engage in po*******hy, while only 20% have used or abused alcohol, prescription drugs, or any sort of physical substance.

When that same stress, loneliness, boredom, and overwhelming emotions take over, the clear choice of a dopamine hit has been po*******hy.

Real, true restoration usually lives in the small, human things that regulate the nervous system and reconnect us to life.

Here are healthier options available to us every single day, when that temptation to watch P**n hits you:

• step outside and walk in nature
• call or text a real friend
• watch something that makes us genuinely laugh
• get a long, grounding hug
• move the body with a solid workout
• fuel up with a nourishing meal
• sip something alcohol-free and hydrating
• feel sunlight on the face for a few minutes
• turn on music and move around the kitchen

None of these are flashy, but all are super powerful!

Healing rarely comes from checking out, but from tuning back into the body, to connection, and to real life.

Small choices, repeated daily!

"Practice makes permanent".

Let's put in the work, bros. We're ALWAYS worth it.

DESERET NEWS PROFILE PIECE

I had a really REALLY good first of many interviews with my new friend Lois Collins and our wonderful friends at Deseret News, who reached out to me a few mos ago about doing a detailed profile piece on me and the I Love You Bro Project.

The next set of interviews and footage they want are with my kids, my close friends, and maybe some of the bros from the I Love You Bro Project Project!

This will be the most in-depth news story ever done on me and the I Love You Bro Project. I'm pretty excited (and fairly nervous) to learn something new about myself.

More details to come!

**Thank you to my amazing BFF and ilysis Board Clinician at for loaning me her private office for the interview☺️**

YOU ARE NOT HARD TO LOVE, BRO

Puncher — the Japanese macaque who's recently captured hearts online — reminded the world of something simple and powerful:

❤️We all need love, and to be loved❤️

What a beautiful example of that simple, basic necessity for ALL life.

INSTEAD OF THINKING "I'M TOO HARD TO LOVE"
or
"THIS PERSON IS TOO HARD TO LOVE"
we can reframe to be..

1️⃣ We're/They’re Guarded, Not Cold:
👉🏽What people assume:
“We're/They’re distant. They don’t care.”
💡What’s often true:
They’ve been hurt before and learned to protect their heart.
✅Reframe: Guarded behavior is usually self-protection, not lack of love.
With consistency and safety, many guarded people soften.

2️⃣ We/They Communicate Differently:
👉🏽What people assume:
“We're/They’re bad at expressing feelings.”
💡What’s often true:
They may show love through actions, loyalty, or presence instead of words.
✅Reframe: Different love languages can look like emotional distance when they’re actually quiet forms of care.

3️⃣ We/They Carry Unhealed Trauma:
👉🏽What people assume:
“We're/They’re dramatic,” “too much,” or “emotionally intense.”
💡What’s often true:
Their nervous system is on high alert from past wounds.
✅Reframe: What looks like overreaction is often a body remembering old pain
Healing and safety can change everything.

4️⃣ We/They Struggle With Trust:
👉🏽What people assume:
“We/They push people away.”
💡What’s often true:
Trust was broken before — sometimes repeatedly.
✅Reframe: Slow trust-building isn’t rejection — it’s earned safety in progress.

5️⃣ We're/They’re Independent to a Fault:
👉🏽What people assume:
“We/They don’t need anyone.”
💡What’s often true:
They learned early that relying on others wasn’t safe or reliable.
✅Reframe: Hyper-independence is often old survival strategy, not emotional unavailability.

6️⃣ We're/They’re Still Learning Emotional Skills:
👉🏽What people assume:
“We're/They’re emotionally immature” or “too shut down.”
💡What’s often true:
Nobody ever modeled healthy emotional expression for them.
✅Reframe: Many people aren’t hard to love — they’re under-taught in how to give and receive it.

We are ALWAYS worth love, bros.
