Everything OK Project was founded by Nátán Vértes, a psychology student at ELTE University and a member of the Hungarian national ice hockey team. His passion for both sports and psychology — along with the mental challenges of balancing a dual career — inspired him to build a community where people can speak more openly about their emotions and access real tools for personal growth. In 2024, his work was recognized by Forbes, featuring him on the Forbes 30/30 list as a young changemaker making an impact through both sport and mental health.
