Meet the i love you, bro Team

  • Joe’s journey started when on his way to a basketball game with his daughters, he recognized a brother in a suicide crisis. After getting out of his car to help, the only words that came to mind in that terrifying moment were, “i love you, bro.” From there, Joe was able to help the man.

    This experience left Joe wondering why he couldn’t have helped before it got to that point. Joe’s journey led him to an awareness of the mental health challenge facing his brothers and from there, the i love you, bro project was born.

    Joe has a history of serving to strengthen his community and working to encourage and support those around him.

  • Jason has 16 Years of Therapy Experience: Rooted in years of diverse and enriching professional practice. He specializes in all varieties of mental healthcare such as Grief, Addiction Recovery, Trauma, Depression, Anxiety, and Grief Coaching.

    It has always been the i love you, bro project’s goal to offer the men in our community free access to shame-free group spaces, and with the help and experience of Jason, we offer shame-free one on one care as well.

  • "I always try to live by the notion that 'You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help other people get what they want.'

    "Since I first reached out to Joe, I knew that he was a guy that was a 'Go and Doer'. I strongly believe in Joe's big dream and helping eliminate men's suicide and improving the mental health of the men in our community. Joe seems tireless in his passion for men's mental health and suicide prevention. He is one of the most dedicated people I have ever met, and I'm thankful to be a part of this cause."

    Some of these experiences, good and bad, include but are not limited to: marriage, divorce, loss of a child, major health issues and many surgeries, a weight loss journey of losing a 160lbs, and 25+ years of addiction/alcoholism etc.
    Scott has learned from each of these experiences but has had help along the way, from participating or attending AA, traditional talk therapy, rehab, church groups, and ketamine therapy. Each of these has helped him at that time in his life and taught him great tools, but each of them

    also lacked something and that is “Just for Men” (not the hair club). "The I love you Bro project does that for me. It brings guys together just to be guys, share experiences, hobbies, talents and best of all it allows us as men to be Human, with no judgement, while gaining the support and human connection we all need on some level every day".

  • "Mental Health is something I have always been passionate about, as I have always had close family members struggle with severe mental illnesses. 

    In June of 2020, my passion and desire for helping people in mental health drastically increased. 

    On June 5, 2020, I got a call from a police officer that changed me forever; my husband of 10 years had died by suicide. Since then, I have spent much of the last few years researching, educating, and trying to make sense of a tragedy. 

    I know suicide is preventable.  

    I also know that a lot of times when men are struggling, they often feel they have to "man up" or can't show their emotions. I love the I Love You, Bro Project for trying to change that narrative and help men who are struggling with mental health challenges feel comfortable and confident in reaching out for help".
