A mens support organization for mental health
HEADSUPGUYS is an online, anonymous resource specifically designed for men, and their families, to prevent the continued erosion of men’s mental health and deaths by suicide.
HEADSUPGUYS website offers tips and articles that arm men with the tools they need to fight depression, as well as recovery stories from men who have faced depression, and an international therapist directory to connect men with local mental health professionals.
Dr. John Ogrodniczuk, founder of HeadsUpGuys, says:
"HeadsUpGuys is thrilled to partner with the BC Lions Alumni Association. As a global leader in men's mental health, HeadsupGuys is well positioned to support the mandate of the BCLAA to provide the best resources available to its members in support of their physical and psychological well-being."
