Men: It’s OK to Talk (and other ways to process difficult stuff)
Talking is good for us. We all know that and yet some of us find it hard to talk about how we feel, especially when we aren’t feeling good.
This session is aimed at men and those who would like to support the men in their lives. The aim of the session is to shine a light on why some men find it difficult to open up, to explore ways to support men when they are struggling and to share some alternative ways to process difficult stuff, for those who really don’t like talking.
In this interactive session, attendees will develop an understanding of some of the challenges facing men today and will take away some helpful ways to support men (or themselves) through difficult times.
