About MentalHappy
MentalHappy began in 2016 as a small support group on a social media site, where the team quickly recognized the limitations of using platforms not designed for group support—such as inadequate tools, privacy concerns, and a lack of structure. Comprised of mental health providers, advocates, and facilitators, the founding team experienced these challenges firsthand and set out to create a better solution. The result was MentalHappy: a purpose-built platform designed to simplify group management, enhance engagement, and expand access to emotional support.
Rooted in the belief that community care is health care, MentalHappy empowers individuals and organizations to create and manage support groups more effectively. Today, the platform hosts thousands of active groups dedicated to emotional well-being. Through fostering connection, reducing barriers to care, and supporting mental health on a global scale, MentalHappy is redefining how people find strength in community.
