Our Mission

We advocate for mental health through the culture of billiards — using cues, tables, and community to start meaningful conversations and connect people to help.

Founder Story

Lee “Amp” McCoy, Disabled U.S. Army Veteran, found billiards to be a way of staying calm, focused, and connected after his service. This personal journey inspired Cue the Calm to combine the game of pool with advocacy for mental health.
