Exploration: Mantherapy.org

Though mental health issues and suicide are not a topic generally associated with humor, I have found a site that takes a very different approach to a mans mental health. Mantherapy.org is exactly what it sound like, a website designed to help men who believe they are having any type of mental health issues. Normally one would think that a site dedicated to mental health would just be line upon line of text that the user would have to read through before making any progress or learning anything in general. This site, with the use of flash of course, has a very unique interface that resembles a therapist's office, but this therapist acts like he is employed by old spice. With a very "manly" sense of humor, this "doctor" guides the user through the sites many features and online resources, all geared toward promoting men mental health but without giving the vibe of a suicide hotline or actual doctors office. This is a very fascinating humorous approach to a subject that unfortunately plagues many men today.
