Originally started in 2023

Columbus Brotherhood Circle relaunched in 2024 to offer a peer-to-peer network of men who seek to connect with others, support efforts to promote men's mental and physical health, and reduce stigma regarding men's health. Monthly events are held to enhance fellowship and brotherhood among men in Columbus and Central Ohio.

Our mission:

To create a brotherhood of local men in Columbus, Ohio in an effort to support men's mental and physical health and reduce stigma related to these areas.

Who we are:

Adult (18+ years) men and male/masculine-identifying individuals in Columbus and Central Ohio. Adult men and male/masculine-identifying individuals from the rest of Ohio and contiguous states are welcome to join our cause as well.

We believe:

• Men's health matters

• Men's wellbeing is holistic: physical and mental health are deeply interconnected

• The stigma about men's mental and physical health concerns need to be addressed at every level of society

• Prevention is as equally important as treatment

• Men should be able to express their emotions freely and without judgement, knowing that vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness.

• Access to quality mental and physical healthcare is a right

• It takes a village - men's health requires support networks from peers, family, communities, and society as a whole
