Men4MentalHealth course

Posted on: October 11, 2022

The Adult Mental Health and Wellbeing Team, part of Essex County Council, are running another Men4MentalHealth course starting in November. It is for any man feeling low, experiencing a lack of motivation, loss of direction, struggling in their relationships or struggling in any other way with their mental health.
The course is open to any man living in Essex (excluding Southend and Thurrock) aged between 18 and 65.
The course will be running on Tuesdays, between 5pm-7pm, held over 6 consecutive weeks. Start date yet to be confirmed.
Men can either attend in person or virtually. If wanting to join virtually, they can attend the session using their mobile/laptop/computer/tablet from the comfort of their own home and join with members at the in person session.
The location for the face to face sessions will be in Chelmsford near the train station.
We’ve already had some fantastic feedback from previous cohorts:
the course gave me useful strategies for coping with mental health”
“it helped hearing other people’s stories and how even though we had different circumstances, we still helped and supported each other and had similar issues”
“I thought it was facilitated extremely well”
I liked the fact that the group was online, because I was in the safety of my own environment, it was less anxiety provoking”
“it made me feel that I wasn’t alone. I now know that there are other people in the same boat”
“I was really in a bad place and now I’m out of that place, I’ve made friends and learnt a lot of things about my mental health, and learnt about other people’s mental health”
“I really can’t stress what a difference to my life you and Lucy have made… I can’t thank you enough.”
If you know of men who would like to attend, all we ask is for them to contact the team as soon as possible. The number is 0333 032 2958 and email is MH.wellbeingteam@essex.gov.uk.
If you have any questions please feel free in get in contact with them.
