Men;s Open Groups

Start the conversation in one of our Open Men’s Groups – That’s ‘OMG’

  • Come once or be a regular, OMGs are a no obligation opportunity to have meaningful connection with other men.
  • Hosted by experienced facilitators from the Mens Wellbeing Community who create a safe and comfortable environment.
  • Every man is welcome and our guidelines ensure that there is respect for all.

“I like OMGs because there’s no judgement, no advice and no sales pitch”

Why should you come to one of our OMGs?

  • Share what’s going on for you in confidence, where you can be heard.
  • There’s respect and the space to be real.
  • Wherever you’re at, you can safely be yourself without being judged.
  • More connection, more support, less stress.

“And the spirit of the group is simply Men Supporting Men”

For Experienced Men Too

If you’re already involved in a group, this is a great gift to give another man, bring a mate into our groups and have him experience the support and compassion that other men can offer.
