Before You Build

This kit was created in partnership with Angel Eyes, a nonprofit dedicated to providing compassionate grief support for parents who have experienced the loss of an infant or child. While mothers often receive the majority of care and attention during these heartbreaking moments, many dads silently shoulder their own grief—often with fewer outlets, fewer resources, and fewer opportunities to express what they’re carrying. This gap in support is real, and it matters.

The Men’s Mental Health Kit was designed to help address that gap by offering dads meaningful tools, comfort items, and supportive resources during an incredibly difficult time. However, the mental health needs of men extend far beyond grief and child loss. Men across all ages, stages, and circumstances face unique barriers when seeking help—whether due to stigma, societal expectations, or lack of accessible resources.

This kit is built to meet those broader needs. Whether supporting someone navigating depression, anxiety, stress, life transitions, trauma, or simply needing a reminder that they’re not alone, the items in this kit provide encouragement, grounding, and connection.

By building this kit, you are helping to create a moment of care and support for men who may not often receive it—no matter what they’re going through.
