Men Today
Men are taught to use logic, work hard,
take action, and play hard. Today, men
receive many messages that what they have
learned is wrong. Men often do not have a
safe place to act naturally and feel acceptance.
The Men’s Group is a safe, nonjudgmental
place to explore the meaning
and feeling of being a man. Additionally,
group members can explore the concerns
they have in their lives.
The Group is for...
- Men with changes in important
relationships and /or career
- Men who want to experience more
effective communication and intimacy in their lives
- Men experiencing
difficulty with marriage, family, divorce or work
relationships
- Men with depression, loneliness, social anxiety,
or low self esteem
What is a group?
The group is six to eight competent and effective
men. Members are supported and challenged to
explore their concerns. The counseling is solution focused
so members can quickly and economically
meet their individualized goals. Members are encouraged
to support each other with their natural
strengths and abilities.
Group Expectations
Members must agree in advance
to protect the confidentiality
of other members, including what is discussed
in group, as well as the identity of other participants.
Other responsibilities to the group include
being on time for sessions, participating in the group
process, and giving two weeks notice before leaving
the group.
Fees
The per-session fee is $80 with one uncharged absence
every calendar quarter. Other absences are
charged at the regular rate. Group members are responsible
for their accounts and our office staff can
assist in obtaining third-party payment when it is
available.
Group Schedules
There are two groups that meet
weekly. One group meets on Tuesday evenings and
is for men in their 20’s and 30’s. The other
group meets on Thursday evenings and is for men in their late
30’s and older.
