Men's Support Group

Join our Men's Support Group! This group is for any male aged 18 and up, meeting virtually on Wednesdays at noon every week. This group will focus on a variety of topics, including: 

​

• Deciphering Emotions

• Finding a Purpose

• Emotional Regulation

• Making your Time Valuable

• Dealing with Burnout

• Romantic Relationships

• Male loneliness

 

Due to the persistent stigmatization of therapy, many men fail to seek therapeutic help when they are struggling in life. This results in decreased mental health amongst men, as seen in their disproportionate suicidality. Many men fail to see the value of talk therapy and are more interested in modalities focused on problem-solving and immediacy. The unwillingness to seek one-on-one therapy often leads men to use their partners for emotional unpacking, resulting in diminished relationship satisfaction, or to seek unreliable guidance from internet forums. Unlike individual therapy, a group setting allows for multiple voices and collaboration in real time. This support group provides a non-judgmental and solutions-based environment in which men can help each other achieve improved well-being together. The goal of this group is to destigmatize therapy and bolster male mental health.

Participants will be able to:

• Receive third-party advice and guidance from their male peers

• Understand the role of emotions and beliefs in mental well-being

• Learn skills to improve emotional regulation

• Set realistic goals and be held accountable for achieving them

• Improve relationship and marital satisfaction

• Unburden themselves of pent-up feelings

• Normalize and destigmatize male problems

• Build a community of supportive and helpful individuals
