Free Mens Group Aug 23rd
Being a man in 2025 can be a challenge. Come vent and relate to what other men are going through.

Hey! I’m starting a monthly, well maybe twice a month mens group… We’ll see how the first one goes and what people think.
But life is tough, and men are under so many pressures that don’t get discussed often. So I created this men group as a place to vent and get stuff off your chest, hear from, and relate to, what other men are going through.
The world is in a downturn and we need to hold each other up and band together during this tumultuous time.
I’ve been to a few mens groups and have found them to be very cathartic and helpful. I found it beneficial to hear from other guys raw experiences and realize that I was facing similar issues to others, even though they appeared to be better of than I was at the time.
Few things to keep in mind if you’re going to join
Everything said in the group stay in the group. Don’t talk about what’s discussed with other people outside of the group.
Jokes are okay, we need them, however let’s keep jokes about people in the group and what they are experiencing to a minimum. It is important that we create an environment where everyone can feel extremely comfortable being vulnerable. And that’s not possible if they have to fear ridicule.
Offer help. If you see a way you can help someone, offer your help. A lot of men struggle to ask for it. So if we can all offer it to one another then maybe we will start finding the help we actually need.
With that, only offer help if you are going to follow through with the help. Don’t offer it if it over loads you, only offer what you can and are willing to give.
Pretty simple. We might adapt that as we go. I’m just getting this is just getting started.
The first group session is going to be August 23rd at 5pm-7pm at the Civic Center Library in Old Town Scottsdale AZ.
We might go out afterwards if people are up for it. TBD.
