Speak up. Stay here. Build brotherhood.
Project 143 is a local-first men's mental health advocacy movement making it a little less daunting to ask for help, find a therapist, join a peer group, or check on the guy who's gone quiet.
What 143 means
143 means I love you — one letter, four letters, three letters, a code for unconditional love. Project 143 turns that idea into action: awareness, connection, and brotherhood for men's mental health, benefiting NAMI.
Men are not binary machines. Strength exists on a scale, pain exists on a scale, and recovery exists on a scale — Project 143 makes space for that reality.
