It all started with a phone call...

In December 2021, Terry Robinson, We Need To Talk's Founder, received a phone call from Harold Allen, a member of the Lincoln Hornets Alumni Association, a San Diego, CA organization where Terry serves as Board President. Harold, the older brother of football legend Marcus Allen, a former NFL running back for the Raiders, had previously had a stroke and was concerned about the lack of men willing to discuss their health.

​

That conversation started with Harold saying, "We need to talk...". The We Need to Talk Men's Health Forum (WNTT) was created that day. 

Established as a 501(c)3 nonprofit in June 2022, WNTT is a community-based mission-focused organization headquartered in Portland, Oregon, with an affiliate site in San Diego, California.
