Zak H. is a Calgary-based technology and digital media entrepreneur born in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania (East Africa). He migrated with his family at a young age, making Canada home. After the loss of his mother and the challenges he faced with mental health and depression of an all-time low, Zak decided to go deeper within himself and get sober, which resulted in Zak needing an outlet as his social life had changed, and loneliness occurred. In 2021, Zak decided to launch the Canadian Podcast (https://instagram.com/canadianpodcast), which is a homegrown show that has its studio based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The Canadian Podcast Show (https://canadianpodcast.ca) highlights guests from all walks of life as they share their stories on what they have learned thus far to better themselves, their place of work and the community in which they work, thrive and live.

\\n

In June of 2023, Zak decided to bring a group of men from various walks of life together from across our nation of Canada to launch and create a social media, online and in-person awareness of Men\\u2019s Mental Health as June is men\\u2019s mental health month. As an entrepreneur in the digital realm, Zak decided that the branding of the name would be \\u2018MenTELL Health,\\u2019 a passion project dedicated to fostering men\'s mental health awareness. Zak believes that as one, our community can come together and work together through the grassroots to help each other shatter the silence and erase stigma by encouraging open dialogue and empowering men to speak up about their struggles regarding their mental well-being.

\\n

In his journey, Zak found help through members of the community who were online and in-person and firmly believes that no one is alone out there, even when we may feel it at times. The MenTELL Health campaign objective of #MenTELLHealth is to bring awareness and diminish the stigma surrounding men\'s mental health in June 2023.
