The Big Idea

Breakthrough Men’s Community is a non-profit organization founded in 1985 to provide men with the skills to free themselves from non-productive, painful, or unworkable aspects of their lives and the chronic isolation that results. In the Breakthrough Workshop we teach men tools that work and resources they can use to breakout of their isolating patterns and live life from a renewed relationship to themselves and the ones they love. We allow men to heal from what is called today "toxic masculinity" and re-engage with life from a place of caring, contribution, support, community and friendship.
Breakthrough’s Mission Statement relates it well:
Men Supporting men to uncover aliveness and build fulfilling relationships.
We Share,
We Listen,
We learn, together.

Just having someone listen to what I have experienced and what I'm going through, that's been clutch, that's been key for me. The bigger the thing you are going through, the more important it is to bring it to something like Breakthrough. Breakthrough for someone who's a father is so key. Learning how to deal with things and emotions that are challenging allows you the space that you need so that you can let your children deal with their emotions and guide them through that process...being able to be there for them, allow them to have their feelings and yet support them through that process, has been massive. Breakthrough is a community of caring committed connection.
