Three Kelowna residents have launched a new app focusing on the mental health and well-being of men.

The app, called 香蕉视频直播榟e.香蕉视频直播�, helps men focus on their mental, physical, emotional, social and soulful well-being. Through research and development, the team at he. has worked with experts to determine the top pain points that create tension, stress, anxiety and depression which can lead to health challenges.

Co-Founders Candace Chisholm, Shannon Crabbe and Joel Day wanted to create a 香蕉视频直播榮afe space香蕉视频直播� for men to connect with others who might be suffering or are looking for help through the app香蕉视频直播檚 chat platform 香蕉视频直播� which can be accessed anonymously. The founders hope the chat will address loneliness and the need many men have to feel heard or understood.

Chisholm previously worked for a non-profit company. She said men would often call looking for mental health resources and she found that they were sparse. Crabbe, who owns a yoga studio, had a similar experience with men who would come into her classes and express that they were struggling emotionally. Day came onto the project as the tech founder which helped get the ball rolling.

Having two adult sons, Chisholm felt inspired to propel the project forward.
