Under the Hood: 3 Week Men’s Wellbeing Group

Under the Hood: 3 Week Men’s Wellbeing Group

Ever been asked “are you right?” and said “yeah, fine” when you weren’t? This is a practical, no-pressure group for men and male-identifying people who want to understand what’s going on under the hood, for themselves or for a mate.

Run by Rishi, an AASW Accredited Mental Health Social Worker. It’s a psychoeducation group, not therapy, so no one has to share anything personal.

When: Sundays 22 Nov, 29 Nov and 6 Dec, 12 to 1:30pm
Where: Balwyn Park Centre Multipurpose Room, Ground floor, Balwyn Park Centre, 206A Whitehorse Road, Balwyn 
Cost: $35 for one session, or $90 for all three
Included: Filter coffee and light snacks

The sessions

1. Strong enough to ask: What we were taught about being a man, and what it costs. Stigma, the “man box”, being the provider, family and cultural expectations.

2. Under the hood: How stress, anger and low mood show up in men, and what’s underneath. Depression, anxiety and trauma in plain language.

3. Got your back: Loneliness, relationships, and how to ask a mate “are you right?” and mean it. Listening without fixing, and how to take the first step to getting help.

Each session stands on its own, so come to one or all three. Every session you leave with a practical takeaway.
