Circulus for Men

Circulus for Men is a new men’s mental health and well-being service that aims to break down the barriers of stigma and masculinity in a safe, non-judgmental space which fosters empowerment, raise self-esteem and builds community. This group has been fostered to answer the growing crisis on men’s health and to offer a network to men after so many services have been oversubscribed, limited or cut around the county. We are social, friendly and out going. We believe that everyone has the platform to be heard and feel empowered. We are here to help. 

Circulus for Men holds a men’s group called ‘The Circle’ every fortnight from 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm at Glenfield Morrisons Community Room on Station Road, Glenfield. This is a free session for men, supported by men that aims to provide support through psycho-educational approaches, conversation and active listening underpinned by research-informed strategies to empower men to reduce anxiety, lower stress, increase motivation, and build self-esteem whilst providing a safe space to challenge the pressures of life and masculinity. The target audience is any man aged 18+, that feels lonely, low, lacking motivation, feeling isolated, anxious, stressed or suffering from low level depression.

The Circle uses discussion as its main mechanism. Talking about or wellbeing challenges is proven to help men feel less isolated, release tension and feel supported.  We have weekly topic areas delivered in a safe space that are the catalyst for conversation. All attendees can share and discuss or simply just be present. We use active listening and the experiences of others to validate our own feelings. Discussion and conversation allow those in attendance to empower themselves by vocalising their challenges. 

If you wish to talk more about the service or have any questions, please get in touch.
