Men’s Group

This group provides an opportunity for men to get together, hold each other accountable, and be authentic. Men come to the group with a myriad of issues they would like to address, including anger issues, relationship issues, addiction and/or mental health issues, or to stay grounded in their lives. 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. This program is funded through community partnerships and is free for individuals that identify as male.

Our Men’s Counselling program is currently on pause as we take time to regroup and secure new funding. We’re committed to bringing this important service back and will share updates as soon as it becomes available again.
