A men’s group is a very powerful tool to reduce shame in a man’s life and to help a man come out of hiding. It is a deeply powerful experience to share vulnerability with other men in a safe setting and to realize that you are not alone. When men learn how to become intimate with other men (in a non-sexual way) it generally creates positive impacts in all areas of their life. The group has a cost of $640 which is $80 for every weekly 2-hour session. It is covered by insurance if your insurance covers Registered Psychotherapist (RP).

We focus on your interpersonal relationships and social interactions, including how much support you receive and take from others and the impact these relationships are having on you. As the group begins to form, so do the relationships between members. What eventually happens is that these relationships begin to bring out the same behaviours and defences you use in your everyday life and relationships. The group members and facilitators help you to grow in awareness of how you are impacting others and how others are impacting you. This is done through a process of connection and feedback. Monday nights with Dr. Joshua Weiss.

At Chapters Counselling Services, we believe that Life is a journey, and the compass with which we navigate the different stages (Chapters) of our lives are embedded in our thoughts and emotions.

Men's Issues Support Groups
Is therapy for men different than it is for women?
Therapeutic treatments and types are the same for men as they are for women, with the same protocols followed and the same strategies employed. Discussing one’s feelings and emotions is an integral part of most therapies, and some men find doing so more challenging. Therapists can help clients through the process; some specialize in treating men for this reason.
How do you encourage a man to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either himself or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can men prepare for therapy?
Men can prepare for therapy by approaching the process with an open mind, being willing to talk about their challenges, and giving treatment the time to work. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. It can be useful for men who struggle to recall their emotional states to write down notes between sessions about their response to a given event or how they were feeling at a particular time.
What should men know about the process of therapy?
One of the most common reasons men don’t seek therapy is the notion that there’s something wrong with them if they do. Men should know that just because they’re seeking therapy doesn’t mean they’re mentally ill or damaged in some way. In the same way people work on their bodies through exercise or a craft through practice, therapy can be a way to improve the mental and emotional skills needed to be productive and effective partners, employees, and people in all realms of life.
