Pour les hommes québécois

MenTELL est un mouvement canadien à la base, fondé à Calgary en juin 2023 par un groupe d’hommes canadiens ordinaires de tous les milieux. Le mouvement a une portée nationale. Nous ne sommes pas des thérapeutes. Nous ne sommes pas des experts. Nous sommes un groupe d’hommes canadiens ordinaires qui ont regardé autour d’eux et ont vu trop d’hommes dans leur vie porter quelque chose seuls. Nous sommes le pont qui encourage les hommes à briser le silence, à trouver leur cercle de confiance et leur communauté, et à obtenir l’aide professionnelle dont ils ont besoin. Il n’y a aucune honte à demander.

How MenTELL shows up in Quebec City

MenTELL is a grassroots Canadian men’s mental health movement that started in Calgary in June 2023. The movement is national in reach. 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.
