Men’s Mental Health Group

Men’s Mental Health Group – St Helens
Tuesdays 10.00am – 12.00pm

Our Men’s Mental Health Group (also known as our Men’s Brunch Club), first launched in July 2023. We created this group as the men we supported 1-1, told us how much they struggle, and we don’t want them to feel alone! Mental health effects everybody. As a society, Men’s Mental Health isn’t spoken about as much as women’s mental health when it should and always be balanced!

Loneliness is a big problem in our society and it can aggravate mental health issues. Human beings are social animals and need each other’s company whether they realise it or not!. Anything that can get people together in a safe and supportive environment and hopefully start new friendships is good, and our men’s group does exactly this.

We was inspired to create our Men’s Mental Health group after seeing how much our other group members have bloomed, proving our groups work!. All the groups we run from our hive, are small groups with an average of 6-8 members and all have activities you are more than welcome to participate in them, or even if you just want to come in for a chat!. Our activities we offer within our groups are:

  • Arts and Crafts

  • Coffee morning’s

  • Listening to music

  • Meditation

  • Quizzes and puzzles

We know the group makes a difference as the men tell us they rarely leave the house, so coming to the group gives them a purpose to get up and out of the house, many have formed friendships which they haven’t got, but the key point is that they sit and chat and as we know, men don’t open up as easily as women.

The staff at PlanBee can, if needed, give advice and help with things such as social security benefits, housing, and employment. Staff can also help people get counselling if they feel they need it. We also encourage men to try new things.
