Having a men’s carer support group can offer several benefits.
It provides a safe and comfortable space for men to express their feelings and experiences, which can sometimes be challenging in mixed-gender groups due to societal norms and expectations.
It allows men to connect with others who may be facing similar challenges and experiences, fostering a sense of understanding and camaraderie.
It can address specific issues that are unique to men, providing tailored support and guidance.
Such groups can be beneficial in breaking down stereotypes, encouraging open communication, and promoting mental health and wellbeing.
The Men’s In-Person Peer Support (IPPS) group meets on Thursdays fortnightly in Subiaco. Why not check it out? For more information visit >
