SUPPORT
OUR GROUPS
We offer a very informal, safe and relaxed environment for men of all ages who are struggling with any kind of mental health issues. Our sessions are designed to be as inclusive as possible with no judgement, only support and understanding from people who might be able to offer you some help.
We currently have twelve locations, and are planning to have the whole of Cornwall covered by 2020.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
"It doesn’t matter where you think you are on the mental well-being spectrum, these guys are awesome support. Bringing all perfectly normal blokes together to talk about their experiences should be exactly that - NORMAL "
