Vision, Values, & Impact
Golden Men’s Group Association
Established in 2021
Mission
GMG is a community group that provides a space for men to form a long-term supportive network. We encourage connecting with the intent of reducing isolation, facilitating open conversation, and active listening. We foster an environment that supports sharing openly about our lives, beliefs, struggles, successes, and fears in a space steeped in trust and respect. We extend a community of belonging, peer support, and camaraderie. We are men serving men, collaboratively contributing, discussing, and advocating mental, emotional, and social well-being.
Vision
To create a thriving, stigma-free community where men feel empowered to openly discuss their mental health, support each other, and grow in resilience, emotional wellness, and personal fulfillment.
Impact
By empowering men with tools for self-awareness, emotional resilience, and peer support, we foster healthier homes, workplaces, and communities. A stronger foundation for men’s well-being leads to positive ripple effects throughout Golden and beyond.
