Our mission is to build a free mental health support network in action sports and beyond.
We create safe spaces to deepen connection, strengthen belonging, and normalize asking for help.
Founded by Laura Rogoski in 2021, We’re All Mental is growing nationally and internationally—focusing on the "WE" to build community together.
BRUSH YOUR EMOTIONAL TEETH .
What is We’re All Mental?
Healthcare is expensive and hard to navigate, plus finding the right therapist is emotionally taxing.
We aim to provide free, accessible resources to alleviate that stress and build a supportive community where no one has to struggle alone.
Think of preventative mental health like dental hygiene: we brush our teeth so we don’t get cavities. Once a deep cavity forms, brushing won't cure it—we need a dentist, and the process can feel worse before it gets better. But after healing, we keep brushing to stay healthy.
We’re All Mental is like brushing your emotional and mental teeth.
We are not a substitute for professional clinical care, but we guide individuals toward healthy, daily habits that act as preventative care. By building a network of friends who show up for each other, we ensure fewer people fall through the cracks or spiral unnoticed.
How we show up for our community:
Connection & Support:
Hosting weekly online Mental Meetups, and teaching friends how to ask for help and support one another.
Outreach & Events:
Hosting in-person Mental Meetup events nationally and internationally, collaborating with other communities in the action sports industry, hosting online competitions and community gatherings (like silent auctions and raffles) to spread awareness.
Resources & Creative Media:
Creating and distributing mental health zines (including a new releases soon), using our Instagram to communicate and promote, maintaining an active Discord chat, delivering weekly emails with quick reads, journal prompts, and memes, and offering clear steps for better self-care.
MENTAL MEETUPS ARE OUR IDENTITY.
4 YEARS. 200+ MEETUPS. INFINITE GROWTH.

Born from the lack of spaces in action sports to talk about how we actually feel, Mental Meetups are low-pressure spaces—online and in person—to connect, share, and show up for one another.
Come as You Are: For online meetups, you’re welcome to keep your video off, name blank, or just listen until you’re ready to share.
In-Person Gatherings: Local events built around real community connection, shared experiences, and showing up for each other.
Weekly Focus: Each session features a quick, inspiring reading to ground open, honest conversation.
Real Growth & Prevention: Practical, achievable steps to build healthy habits and ensure no one struggles alone.
-
Hosted weekly over Zoom, our 1-hour online meetups bring our global community together to decompress, reflect, and connect without judgment.
Zero Pressure: Camera off, name blank, or just listen—speaking is never required.
Structured & Grounded: Guided by a quick weekly reading, open discussion, and positive reflection.
Accessible Anywhere: Free and open to everyone, wherever you are in the world.
-
Hosted at local spots and community hubs, our in-person meetup events bring people together to connect, share, and build real-life community.
Zero Pressure: Come as you are—participate as much or as little as you feel comfortable with.
Grounded & Casual: Often paired with a ride day or a learn-to-build park & ride day, followed by a short reading or prompt to kick off honest, low-pressure conversation.
Real Connection: A space to meet local peers who have your back both on and off the board.
-
Every meetup is anchored by a weekly topic, giving us a grounded starting point so conversations flow naturally.
How They Help: Breaks the ice and gives everyone a shared focus—making it easier to reflect and share without pressure.
Who Chooses Them: Selected by our team based on real community feedback, seasonal shifts, and life in action sports.
Connected to Our Newsletter: Each topic links to our weekly email—packed with deeper journal prompts and a few memes to keep it real.
How to Get Involved: Got a topic, quote, or prompt idea? We love community contributions—send them our way via email or Instagram DM, or drop them in a meetup

What is a Mental Meetup?
A safe place for people to communicate and share their experiences.
You are welcome to leave your video off and your name blank.
It’s okay if you’re not ready to share and just want to listen, that is a great place to start!
Mental Meetups offer realistic steps for personal growth- IF we put the work in.
There is a different inspiring reading each week.
We are building a community of people who care about each other's well-being.
Mental Meetup Introduction, Community and Comment Space
The Mental Meet up I took part of at Trollhaugen was an eye opener into the world of action sports that I never thought I would see. We were opening up as a community to understand and better help improve each others actions and help create expectance and awareness of emotions that reside in all of us as humans. With this type of meet up, I realized that we all have the power to change somebody’s life, with a simple Conversation

The Dig the Park/We’re all mental event at Darkside was epic. Such a powerful, welcoming and supportive environment. Next level hype. My wife and I brought our 4 year old daughter. When she introduced herself to the group everyone cheered for her. For her to have this kind of community at 4 years old beyond amazing. Can’t wait to come back next year to shred and be inspired.” -Kristyn
"When I attended a mental meetup, I was able to show up as my whole self rather than just my snowboarder identity, which was profoundly healing and allowed me to connect to my peers on a deeper level than I had before."

Going to a Mental Meetup is always an eye opening and transformative experience. To know we aren’t alone in our struggles is so powerful. Laura’s in-person and printed programming strengthens our community and gives tools and hope to those in need.

It's hard to describe what we’re All mental is, because it really is so much more than just a meeting at a snowboard event. It's a safe space for people, a place where friendships are formed and strengthened. Building community in a time when it Is needed the most.

I went to a handful of in person mental meet-ups at snowboy events before I eventually started occasionally attending the zoom ones as well. The in person ones have become a staple for me as they have allowed me to grow even deeper connections in addition to sharing the stoke while riding the event setups together. You get a glimpse of the personality behind the boarder and I love that! I cherish the quality friendships resulting from this bonding experience so much - sharing both tears and laughter creates deep and lasting connections even if we can’t see each other that often in person. Also hearing others - who I deeply admire for who they are or for their contributions and accomplishments - share relatable struggles just shows that it’s normal to deal with insecurities and vulnerabilities. It inspires me to keep going when things get difficult or also to put in the work and try break out of unhealthy behaviours or patterns!
