Group participants have the opportunity to connect with other men to deepen self-expression and move through the sense of isolation.  Personal strengths are enhanced by building useful skills in a structured, safe therapeutic environment.  These include relationship skills, leadership skills, emotional awareness, self-esteem, general life skills, and healing.

The benefits of our Men’s Group include:

• Creation of close, strong relationships that inform personal meaning and values
• Increased self-awareness by developing the ability and willingness to see ourselves as others see us through engagement with other group members
• Authentic emotional expression and increasing the capacity for emotional awareness and empathy
• Enhanced self-esteem through authentic sharing, which creates a sense of bonding and value to self and others
• Learning about the role shame plays in our lives and how vulnerability enhances courage, and corrodes our sense of inadequacy
• Strengthen conflict management skills
