Good to see more men, helping men with men’s mental health. I just wish that there was something male oriented near me, rather than the generic mental health support.
Men talk to each other in a completely different way than they do when women are present.

What a great initiative and good to see it getting some positive publicity!
There are loads of women’s groups but not very many men’s ones, and it’s important that both sexes have the opportunity to talk about things in an environment that they’re comfortable doing so. For quite a lot of people that’s easier with their own sex only.

Anything but actually fix the problem.
I am grateful for these community groups, but it’s making mental illness look very superficial and surface-level. Eventually the NHS will wash their hands of it altogether, leaving those of us with more complex disorders in limbo.
