At Relational Ground, Dominick explores how men’s health, relationships, and societal change intersect through stories, research, and global perspectives.
This work examines how cultural norms and systemic barriers shape men’s experiences with reproductive health, family planning, and emotional well-being. From global fertility trends to fathers’ roles in sexual health and the NFL’s platform for men’s health, Relational Ground challenges outdated narratives and offers practical solutions.
Its relational approach emphasizes connection—between partners, families, communities, and health systems—as a catalyst for stronger public health and healthier lives.

Beyond the Algorithm
Algorithms offer convenience but often flatten experience—what’s missing is the relational thread: the conversations, support, and vulnerability that can’t be coded but deeply matter.
