Almost all of the MEN that attend find great benefit in the therapeutic environment provided in the Men's Group, along with a close knit camaraderie. The work that is done in Men's Group is beneficial to everyday living, as it allows the straight-jackets that society places on men to come off, and participants better able to feel human, rather than performed and outdated notions of masculinity. What great relief men find in being authentic. Interested individuals cam call or email to find out when the next session begins. Available in Cranbrook.
