Conceived out of the global crisis that is the state of our men's mental health, Project Circle Up exists to lift men out of the metaphorical basement. Addiction, inaction and purposelessness wreak havoc on our men's wellbeing and rob the world of their unique contribution and gifts. We are a group of leaders who're committed to empowering men globally in becoming self-sufficient, finding and living their purpose, and becoming the men they've always wanted to be. Our goal: men no longer struggle in silence or just "man up" but instead are empowered to turn to community, to Circle Up!
