Reviews
"Briljante konsep om so byeen te kom as mans en te brainstorm en van mekaar af te kan feed. Sal beslis volgende event bywoon!!"

"Fantastic platform for men to be vulnerable and speak openly about mental health. Dr Chris had an awesome idea when he decided to create this platform - it's not to get quick fixes but more to enjoy a burger and glass of beer / wine with fellow men and realize you're not the only one with your type of issues; there are others that have the same struggles and we can learn from each other.

"Meet Adam is 'n veilige omgewing waar jy eenvoudig eerlik kan wees oor hoe jy voel en wat jy daagliks deurgaan, sonder om te voel jy word veroordeel."
