Breaking Barriers in Mental Health #ScaleBlack
🚀 Day 15 of #ScaleBlack for #BlackHistoryMonth celebrates Tamar Blue, the visionary behind MentalHappy, a Y Combinator-backed platform providing the "AA" for all of life’s challenges—a peer-driven network for healing, resilience, and community care.
Tamar’s journey started with her own struggles with anxiety and panic attacks. In 2013, she took the leap into entrepreneurship, cofounding an online staffing platform in Miami. After selling the company in 2015, she turned to health technology, where the need was urgent and deeply personal.
Mental illness costs the U.S. economy approximately $282 billion annually, with nearly 1 in 4 adults experiencing a diagnosable mental disorder each year. Despite this prevalence, therapy remains expensive and inaccessible—especially for communities of color.
MentalHappy is changing that.
💰 Y Combinator-backed & funded by Northwestern Mutual Future Ventures
🧠 13,000+ members finding healing & psychologically safe spaces
💡 Peer & expert-led groups for emotional wellness
🌍 No long waitlists—accessible anytime, anywhere
Like Alcoholics Anonymous but for all of life’s challenges, MentalHappy provides structured, science-backed support to help people navigate grief, stress, anxiety, career changes, and more—through real connection and real community.
🗣️ ”I believe that no one should face life's toughest moments alone. Achieving happiness and mental clarity should be a right, not a privilege.”- Tamar Blue
🔥 On Day 15 of #ScaleBlack, we honor Tamar Blue's dedication to making mental wellness accessible to everyone—regardless of background or financial means.
