How MenTELL shows up in Saskatoon
MenTELL is a grassroots Canadian men’s mental health movement that started in Calgary in June 2023 by a group of everyday Canadian men from all walks of life. The movement is national in reach. We are not therapists. We are not experts. We are the bridge that encourages men to break the stigma and shatter the silence around speaking up, find their circle of trust and community, and reach the professional help they need. There is no shame in asking.
Join us in June 2026 for #BeTheFlare.
