About
Mens Den is a mens peer support group set up in May 2018. We offer a safe place that is non-judgemental to talk about Men's Mental Health and other situations. Men of all backgrounds, age, race and abilities are welcome.
We meet at
Colne Open Door,The format for our meeting is simple:
- Check-in - Gives each chap a few minutes to talk about their week; the good, the bad and what is on their mind
- Chat - Opportunity to grab a coffee and chat about things of interest with others
- Check-out - Opportunity to sum up how they are feeling and what they plan to do in the week coming
Some good strong friendships are made.
