About

The Mindful Momentz Initiative was founded by J.O. Reid, a U.S. Army veteran and ICF-certified life coach, who recognized the unique mental health challenges faced by men in various communities. Drawing from his military experience and coaching expertise, J.O. sought to create a supportive environment that integrates mindfulness and prayer practices. What began as informal conversations has grown into a transformative movement aimed at empowering men to embrace their mental health journeys through community support and personal growth.

The mission of the Mindful Momentz Initiative is to enhance mental wellness and resilience among men by promoting mindfulness and prayer practices while fostering a supportive community. The initiative aims to address the specific mental health challenges faced by men through culturally relevant programming, open dialogue, and shared experiences.

The Mindful Momentz Initiative employs several methods to achieve its mission:

      •     Culturally Relevant Programming: Developing workshops and resources that resonate with the cultural contexts of participants, ensuring the content is relatable and impactful.

      •     Open Dialogue: Creating a safe space for men to engage in honest conversations about mental health, encouraging vulnerability and connection.

      •     Sharing of Experiences: Facilitating the sharing of personal stories to foster empathy, understanding, and solidarity among participants.

      •     Mindfulness and Prayer Practices: Offering tools and resources such as meditation, mindfulness exercises, and prayer to promote emotional well-being and self-awareness.

      •     Stress Reduction Techniques: Providing practical strategies to manage stress effectively, helping participants navigate life’s challenges with greater ease.

      •     Stigma Reduction: Dismantling the stigma surrounding mental health within communities, promoting the understanding that seeking help is a sign of strength.

Through these methods, the Mindful Momentz Initiative aspires to empower participants to cultivate emotional well-being, improve their quality of life, and foster a sense of community and support
