MentalHappy 3.0 is a full rebuild — new platform, app, and host tools. What sets it apart: instead of browsing support groups that may not exist, you Request the one you need, others upvote it anonymously, and an expert leader sees the demand and starts it — everyone who asked gets pinged when it's live. Demand first, so groups actually fill. Expert-led (not DIY), no referral, insurance, or waitlist. Start free, no credit card. Built solo, end-to-end, with AI.
Hi Product Hunt 👋🏾I'm Tamar — solo founder of MentalHappy (the "we" in our copy is me and a concerning amount of coffee).
Quick story: finding the right support is weirdly hard, and the tools for organizing it are stuck in 2009 — a Zoom link, four email threads, a calendar invite, and a call that goes to voicemail. So I rebuilt MentalHappy from the ground up. This is 3.0.
The part I'm most excited about: Most Requested. Can't find the group you need? Post it — say, "support group for people dating a startup founder." Other people who need it too upvote it. Leaders browse what's actually in demand, spin up the group, and everyone who upvoted gets pinged the moment it's live.
Basically: it's like Product Hunt, but the thing you're upvoting is the support group you wish existed. Demand first, so groups actually fill. (AI quietly handles the matchmaking in the background so the rest can stay human.)
Whether you're an expert, an advocate, or someone who's been through it and wants to hold space for others — there's room for you here. We're Y Combinator-backed, on a mission to make support easier to find and easier to lead.
"actually fill up" in the tagline tells me someone got burned running empty support groups before building this, that's a real problem for anyone who's tried to organize one. what's actually making the difference for filling groups, is it better discovery/matching for people looking, or more about giving hosts tools to promote a specific group before it starts
Most Requested is the best idea on this page, demand before supply. The one thing I couldn't tell: requests and upvotes are anonymous, but somebody holds the ping list for when the group launches. What does the leader see about the people who asked? For this product that answer matters as much as the leader-vetting question further up the thread.
the demand-first model makes sense for getting groups to fill, but the part I'd want to understand before recommending this to anyone is the other side: who actually vets a 'leader' before they're allowed to run a mental health support group? anyone can look qualified in a profile, and this is a space where a well-meaning but out-of-their-depth facilitator can do real harm to people who are already vulnerable. is there a credential check, or is it closer to self-reported expertise with reviews catching problems after the fact
Love this initiative. Can this find also groups within separated countries? (because of the language barriers) :)
Requested a niche group for caregivers and got an email two days later when it actually launched with a real facilitator. love that it doesn't just sit empty.
I like the "demand first" approach. Has there been a requested support group that surprised you by how popular it became?
