CRISIS SUPPORT
The Groundwork is built with crisis support at its core — not as an afterthought, but as a foundation. If you are struggling right now, help is one tap away.
PEER SUPPORT
Six moderated peer support rooms where men can show up honestly and find brothers who understand. Open to all members. Always confidential. Available inside The Groundwork app.
I need to talk · Heavy night · Anxiety and panic · Feeling alone · Grief · Anger

The Groundwork is a peer support community — not a licensed mental health or emergency service. If you are in immediate danger, call 911. If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, call or text 988.
Inside The Groundwork, crisis rooms and hotlines are accessible from the Crisis tab — always visible, never buried.
