KEY TAKEAWAYS Jamie Buttars, a Logan coffee shop owner, promotes men's mental health awareness.

Buttars provides temporary firearm storage for those in mental health crises.

Eric Monson emphasizes early intervention and connection to prevent male suicides.

LOGAN — Jamie Buttars said for a while, he struggled.

"I used to be very angry, and I kept it bottled up," he said.

It wasn't until he found professional help that things began to change.

"Therapy changed my life," he said.

Now, the owner of Cache Coffee is helping others do the same.

At his Logan coffee shop, Buttars hosts veteran game nights and works to create a safe space for people to connect.

Many veterans have also brought in personal military memorabilia and tokens that are now displayed throughout the cafe.
