Men’s Minds Matter
Men’s Minds Matter is about allowing men to feel. Often times men are cajoled to suppress their feelings and lead with a hard exterior.

We are providing a non-judgmental environment to speak about life, work, relationships and other matters. Group meets every Tuesday at 7pm (virtual only). Fee: $40 a session for a total of 8 weeks.
