Safe communities scale care: when people feel protected, they finally feel seen. In this episode, Peter Fenger sits down with Tamar Blue, Founder and CEO of MentalHappy, a pioneering health tech platform that brings peer-led emotional support to people from all walks of life. Tamar began her career in staffing and co-founded a successful HR tech company before pivoting to health innovation, driven by a passion to make mental health care more accessible and community-based. Since founding MentalHappy in 2016, she has led the mission to empower both providers and individuals through expert-led support groups that combine technology with human connection. Based in San Francisco, Tamar continues to champion scalable solutions that reduce barriers, combat provider burnout, and promote healing. In this episode, we dive into how her early passion for peer support grew into MentalHappy, explore the challenges of building secure, human-centered communities, and discuss how technology and inclusive design are reimagining scalable, community-based mental health care.
