Intimate relationships are challenging, and they can feel more so for men. Cultural norms and expectations have demanded one set of behaviors from men, however, once men find themselves in an intimate relationship they may discover that those initially learned behaviors leave them ill-equipped in navigating the emotional landscape, and engagement necessary for a mutually shared connection with their partner. The goal of this group is to assist men in developing a keen awareness of how successful relationships function, and the theories and research that support best practices for nourishing relational contentment.

Picture this... I'm at the playground with my toddler. I'm the only man in sight! I can talk to people, surely. It's what I do for a living! This is not your father's fatherhood. The expectations have changed. You probably don't have a great model for what it looks like to be a whole, healthy, father. Enter, Dad's Group. This process based group gives dads of young children the opportunity to connect, share their struggles, revel in getting their toddler to put a coat on, and improve their relationships.

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.
