Due to the stigmatization of therapy, many men fail to seek help when they are struggling. This results in decreased mental health amongst men, as seen in their disproportionate suicidality. This unwillingness to seek one-on-one therapy also often leads men to use their partners for emotional unpacking, resulting in diminished relationship satisfaction, or to seek unreliable guidance from internet forums. Unlike individual therapy, a group setting allows for multiple voices and collaboration in real time. This support group provides a non-judgmental and solutions-based environment in which men can help each other achieve improved well-being together.
