Join us as we escape into Mike & Sherry Project!  We're excited to welcome  Sam Hellman-Mass, restaurant industry veteran, owner of East Austin favorite Suerte, and founder of Mike & Sherry Project, to the conversation!  Founded in 2019, the Mike & Sherry Project partners with Capital Area Counseling (CAC) to provide affordable, accessible mental health care for Austin's restaurant and bar industry. Through fundraising, the Project helps cover costs for workers facing financial barriers, offering income-based sliding scale appointments starting at $25. To date, over $124,000 has been raised, supporting more than 6,400 appointments. Ways Mike & Sherry Project make an Impact: Supporting Mental Health – Providing affordable, high-quality counseling to service industry employees.
