Our values are simple
Manwhole exists to help men face the challenges they carry—often silently.
Men are expected to be strong, self-reliant, and unshakable. Yet beneath that expectation are very real struggles that many men experience but rarely talk about. Mental health, relationships, family pressures, physical health, finances, addiction, identity, and purpose are common challenges—but too often, men face them alone. Manwhole was created to help change that.
We provide a safe, respectful space where men can talk openly, be heard, and ask for help without shame or judgment. Through connection, conversation, and support, we help men navigate life’s hardest moments and learn that struggling does not mean failing—it means being human.
At Manwhole, we believe leadership begins with listening. Healing begins with honesty. And strength is found not in silence, but in the courage to speak up and accept support. By encouraging open dialogue and community, we help men build healthier relationships, make better decisions, and move forward with confidence and resilience.
Our mission is simple but powerful:
Helping men ask for help.
Help men ask for help
Manwhole exists to support men who are struggling—many of whom were never taught how to ask for help.

Hi... my name's Jason.
A few years ago, I was at a Starbucks in downtown Portland when I noticed two women having a conversation at a nearby table and they were both in tears. So, I got up from my seat, grabbed a few napkins from the condiment bar and walked over to their table. After I handed them the napkins, they smiled, dabbed their eyes and thanked me. When I got back to my seat, it dawned on me that you never see guys having those types of conversations. I thought to myself, why not?
Want to get involved? Please contact me.
