Nick Cardone is a Counselling Therapist in private practice living in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. For over 15 years, Nick’s has worked in community-based, not-for-profit, publicly funded, and private practice mental health settings with adolescents and adults. This diverse background has informed his current focus as a therapist, which is that men and boys have unique needs when it comes to mental health and addictions work.  He believes that, while stigma is indeed a barrier, more importantly, that the social constructs of masculinity play a deeper role, and the way we offer therapy needs to better align with the unique needs of men. Nick has just completed a 2-year pilot project, funded by the Movember Foundation (https://us.movember.com/) to address these special mental health needs, and the shocking statistics around men and suicide. The T.O.N.E. Project (http://freerangetherapy.ca/tone/) (Therapy Outside Normal Environments) was 3-month group that used outdoor, adventure and experiential methods combin
