Mens Well-being
Sometimes its difficult to find places where you feel able to talk about issues that concern you such as your role as a man in a changing world, family issues and dealing with stress. Perhaps you’re beginning to think more about your health and keeping it. You would like to meet other men so that you can share, discuss and explore what matters to you.
This course involves a learning approach quite different from what most people probably experienced in school. The men in the group bring a wealth of life experience and this approach enables them to learn from their experience, as well as the experience of others in the group.
