Different ways to connect
Every man is different. Some prefer talking in a group, some prefer walking side by side, and others feel more comfortable connecting through sport, activities, or online sessions. This section explains the different types of listed groups you may come across.
Peer-to-Peer Groups.
The format: Informal group settings where men may share experiences, listen, or simply be around others who understand similar challenges.
May suit: Men who want conversation, shared experience, and a space to talk at their own pace.
Walk and Talk Groups.
The format: Side-by-side conversation while walking outdoors. For some men, moving while talking can feel easier than sitting face to face.
May suit: Men who prefer fresh air, movement, and lower-pressure conversation.
Sport-Based Groups.
The format: Activity-led groups built around sport, movement, or team-based sessions.
May suit: Men who find it easier to connect through shared activity rather than formal conversation.
Online Groups.
The format: Online sessions, video calls, or digital communities that can be accessed from home.
May suit: Men who cannot travel, have limited local options, or prefer to start with online contact.
