MANUAL partners with academic institutions to engage and inspire men they serve, aiming to break down stigma around seeking help and increase utilization of available services. MANUAL was designed by public health professionals, behavior change experts, and higher education professionals to improve academic outcomes and overall wellbeing of young men on campus.

MANUAL

MANUAL CARE is a digital personal development and mental wellness platform designed to inspire young men to become the best versions of themselves. Today, male students are far less likely to be enrolled, retained, and graduate from higher education institutions - and this is especially true for young men of color. Moreover, their mental health outcomes are rapidly worsening, with young men dying by suicide and overdose at alarming rates. MANUAL CARE works with universities and fraternities across the country, including the University of Mississippi, the University of Maryland, Morgan State University, and MSU-Denver to solve this challenge, bringing high-quality men's success and mental health programming to thousands of their students. We are proud that our evidence-based approach has been proven to enroll the young men that are not currently being reached by existing services, and that the men in our program report significant levels of trust towards our service. 

Having MANUAL work with the guys in the University of Missouri-Kansas City's Men of Color Academy has been an incredible experience - and we're just getting started! Dr Brandon Martin and JaVon M. Hill, M.A. are building a transformational program solving what I believe to be one of the greatest challenges in higher education today, the graduation rates of Black and Hispanic men. We love that we get to be one small part of that story.

Inside Higher Ed highlights suggestions from The Jed Foundation (JED) for addressing youth suicide trends, including meeting students where they already engage. MANUAL takes this to heart, breaking down barriers and destigmatizing seeking help. By reaching out to young men on their terms, MANUAL guides them toward utilizing vital services, fostering a culture where well-being is a shared priority.
