We understand each new participantโs objective from the session which can include venting out, emotional support, community, reflection, solution driven approach, reflection, learn from others, recommendations. His Space refers to a safe space for individuals who identify as males, a place where we can go when weโre feeling vulnerable or confused, where we can rant or cry for as long we need to, or where we can talk and share patiently until a plan of action starts to emerge from the turmoil.
In the face of personal struggles and a longing for connection, a group of individuals came together to create His Space Support Circle. Fueled by empathy and a shared vision, they forged a safe haven where men could freely express their emotions, find solace, and support one another. Through open dialogue and genuine connections, His Space was born, nurturing resilience and fostering a community where vulnerability is celebrated and healing thrives.
We, at EmptyCare value the importance of mental health and wanted to build solutions to alleviate the bottlenecks of mental health space.
The circle was founded in the 1st week of June by EmptyCare and Arjun Gupta and we wanted to spread support to other men who would benefit from the space. Receiving testimonials of gratitude at the conclusion of each session has always encouraged us to keep working toward them and reinforced our belief in the job we perform. From each and every story we are learning, growing, evolving to do better with each session and create a positive impact.
Individuals who identify themselves as men. The support circle initiates with an interactive check in, fruitful and insightful conversations with the entire group and giving a platform for men to share their experiences. Another reflective activity is optional depending on the theme of the circle. Finally, the circle concludes with key take aways, body scan mediation and check outs.

This is a mutual self-help group, not a therapy group. Hopefully, this group will provide emotional, psychological, and moral support for its members. Each of us is encouraged to participate to whatever extent we feel comfortable.

We've developed a curation process over 7+ years, which allows us to carefully curate each inclusive and affirming mental health provider listed on our platform.
We have come a long way since we started in 2018, and have been adapting our curation process every day. From the time a therapist or support group reaches out to us, it takes about 1 - 2 months to complete the process.
We launched TheMindClan.com because we know firsthand how challenging it can be to find support for ourselves and our loved ones. We know that experiences of neurodivergence (like dyslexia, ADHD, autism, etc), or being from a marginalized community (LGBTQIA+, etc), can make it especially challenging to find support.
We understand the overwhelming feeling of scrolling through endless lists, wondering whom to trust, and not knowing what to expect.
If you appreciate our mission of making mental health care accessible and inclusive, and would love to bring this to your organization or collaborate with us, we'd be delighted to hear from you!
