Join us November 26 for a panel discussion on men's mental health in Troubled Monk's private room, The Cellar, led by Social Shift's Jonathan Davies. November is Men's Mental Health Awareness month, so we're bringing back our casual and candid discussions with local men from different backgrounds. Tickets are $15 each, or 2 for $25 and include a beverage per ticketholder, so invite a buddy for a beer on November 26 and open up the conversation around men's mental health and wellbeing.
