We are Talmage and Anthony, two lifelong friends with a shared passion for mental health awareness. Although we have struggled in our own unique ways, we have become closer than ever after opening up to each other. The next chapter in our stories is The Forging. We are working together to create new conditions for ourselves, and anyone who would like to join. Our goal is to get comfortable talking about the uncomfortable, normalizing mental health challenges in everyday life. Join us as we wander down the slippery slope of mental health awareness, we’d love to have you as a teammate.
