Staff Report From Georgia CEO

Thursday, June 26th, 2025

Two different monthly men’s mental health meetups are coming together to provide even more men the chance to share their experiences with each other and find support from within their community. On Monday, June 30, Serenity Entertainment Complex (427 Poplar Street) will host the two successful and meaningful groups from 6:00 – 7:30 p.m.

“We want to foster more collaboration between our groups and strengthen the community around men’s mental health because one thing we’ve all learned from these monthly gatherings is that we are better and stronger together,” says MVP Coordinator Jeremy Grissom.

“Health is our biggest flex, and we want to be focused on helping every man live their healthiest life,” says Athony Howard, owner of Serenity. “We want to be a sanctuary for men to come and engage, fellowship, and network.”

The monthly meetups have been operating on the fourth Mondays of the month at Serenity since July 2024, and on the fourth Tuesdays of the month at Churchill’s on Cherry since November 2023. About 20 men have regularly taken advantage of each of the sessions each month.

“The reception to these meetups has been great with the numbers of guys that show up, but it’s been even more successful because of the support and assistance they receive while there,” adds Grissom. “True, meaningful connections have been made, and we’ve heard some amazing stories about how each has overcome challenges.”
