Our Mission

OUR MISSION

Fortitude recognizes the need for men to shift their perspective in terms of what mental health looks like and offers an alternative approach to tackling the prominent issues associated with related crises. Fortitude provides perseverance based content, educational resources, and a community of empowerment to de-stigmatize and reduce mental crises in men.

TALKING ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH SHOULDN'T FEEL LIKE A GAME OF CHESS.

In November of 2023, founder Karolina Kalset lost her father Hans Jørgen Kalset to complications following a decade long battle with depression, anxiety, PTSD, and alcoholism. His ability to create lasting friendships through engaging in vulnerable conversations inspired the mission and necessity for Fortitude, which now continues in his honor.
