Slope Side Support Society
Slope Side Support Society is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting men’s mental health through the power of skiing.
We provide free group therapy sessions and individual support in a positive, outdoor environment, fostering connection, resilience, and personal growth.
Our Mission
To create a safe space where men can share their experiences, build community, and find healing on the slopes. Through our programs, we aim to break the stigma around mental health and empower men to prioritize their well-being.
The Program
A unique blend of outdoor adventure and mental health support. We offer free group therapy sessions and individual support tailored specifically for men (18+), utilizing skiing as a therapeutic tool.
Group Therapy
Sessions take place before skiing in a supportive, relaxed environment. Led by a registered psychotherapist, these sessions encourage open dialogue and camaraderie, fostering trust before hitting the slopes.
Chairlift Chats
While skiing, participants engage in conversations with trained mental health clinicians. This unique setting provides a comfortable space for discussing challenges and setting goals in nature.
