Men Too Supporting men's mental health across Birkenhead, Wirral and Merseyside since 2016. A calendar of events is done every 6 weeks after consultation with the men.

Men Too offers free counselling, peer support groups, wellbeing programmes, social activities, volunteering opportunities and cost of living support. Men Too provides a safe, warm, confidential, inspirational and supportive environment for men to access a number of services that are aimed to enhance their mental and emotional wellbeing. Our Pathways 2M Empowerment programme gives individuals the opportunity to build on their confidence and self-esteem through talking, exploring feelings, listening, play therapy, art therapy, meditation and visualisation. The programmes has been described as “ Life changing” by many individuals who have completed the 8 week programme. Our weekly Mind Maintenance sessions are run 50 weeks out of the year offering men the opportunity to continue to enhance their wellbeing. These sessions are very service user influenced as we believe that this is an important part of helping people address issues that may be impacting on their wellbeing. Some of sessions include Yoga, Reiki, a walk along New Brighton, sound healing, addressing stress, deservability and much more. The men have described the sessions as “ My wellbeing day.” “ A haven of tranquillity.” “An opportunity to press my reset button”
We also offer 1 to 1 counselling sessions which gives an individual the opportunity to identify, explore and address issues or difficulties they may be experiencing in a safe, warm, supportive and confidential environment with one of our counsellors. All our services are delivered by highly trained, dedicated and passionate staff, some of who have over 20 years experience as qualified counsellors working with diverse and complex issues.

October is National Cholesterol Month, dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of maintaining healthy cholesterol levels.

Cholesterol is a fatty substance that your body needs to build healthy cells, produce hormones, and aid digestion. Your liver naturally produces most of it, but cholesterol is also found in certain foods. While it’s essential for good health, high cholesterol levels can lead to a buildup in the arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease, heart attacks, and strokes. Be the boss of your cholesterol!

Take charge of your health with small, manageable changes that can make a big difference — from eating heart-friendly foods and staying active, to having regular check-ups with your GP.

At Men Too, we support this message through our wellbeing workshops focused on health checks, nutrition, exercise, and overall wellbeing. We also run weekly groups that offer mental health support, empowering men to prioritise healthy lifestyles and make positive choices while managing life’s challenges.

All staff are insured and DBS checked and fully qualified in Counselling, Personal training, nutrition and also trained in first aid, safeguarding and su***de prevention.

🥤🍓 Grandparents Group – Smoothies, Smiles & Healthy Competition! 🍌🍍

What a fantastic session we had today with our Men Too Grandparents Group, bringing everyone together for a fun, interactive and healthy smoothie-making activity! 💚

Following our usual check-in, we explored the benefits of healthy smoothies and how incorporating more fruit, vegetables and nutritious ingredients into our diets can support our physical health, mental wellbeing and energy levels.

The group then got creative, working together to experiment with different ingredients, discover new recipes and put their smoothie-making skills to the test! 🥝🍓

There was plenty of laughter, teamwork, socialising and some friendly competition as everyone improvised with their ingredients to see who could create the best smoothie! The best part was that every creation was a healthy one! 🏆🥤

It was wonderful to see everyone getting involved, sharing ideas, learning something new and encouraging one another. Activities like these are a great way to build confidence, strengthen friendships and promote healthier lifestyles while having fun together.

We finished with our group check-out, with everyone feeling positive, uplifted and having thoroughly enjoyed the experience! 💚

Another brilliant reminder that supporting our mental health and wellbeing doesn't always have to be complicated. Sometimes it's about trying something new, connecting with others and enjoying the little things in life.

🧠 Same situation, different experiences…

Yesterday’s Mind Maintenance session focused on neurodiversity, mental health and understanding how differently we can react to everyday situations.

We began with our usual check-in and visualisation before exploring “How Would You React?” Each man scored different scenarios from 1–5, with the option to add a feeling word to describe their response. This opened up a group discussion about our thoughts, emotions and individual needs. 💬

The scenarios covered changes of plan, busy environments, being interrupted, difficult conversations, people pleasing, healthy boundaries and overthinking. We also explored finding it hard to rest when feeling burnt out, even when we know we need a break. 🔋

The aim wasn’t to label anyone or look for a particular score. It was about recognising that something one person finds manageable can feel overwhelming to someone else—and that our reactions can change depending on stress, tiredness, past experiences and what’s happening around us.

Taking time to understand each other can help us replace judgement with patience, communicate our needs and consider what support might make a situation easier. Sometimes that means clearer instructions, a quieter space, time to process, or permission to say no and put ourselves first. 💙

Thank you to everyone who took part in the discussion. Understanding ourselves and listening to others are valuable steps towards looking after our mental health.

Men Too group are now in session 4 of the therapeutic art 10 week program in partnership with Wirral Lifelong Learning, exploring how creative expression can support overall wellbeing. It was a great turn out and a great session.

Art offers a wide range of mental, emotional, and physical benefits by using creativity as a tool for self-expression, stress reduction, and healing. It can help individuals process trauma, build self-esteem, enhance cognitive function, and improve communication — especially when words are difficult to find.

The best part? No artistic skill or experience is needed to take part.

A huge thank you to Wirral Lifelong Learning for welcoming us and helping create such an important space for growth, connection, and personal development.

Another wonderful afternoon at our Men Too Grandparents Group 💚

Today was all about having fun, sharing a few laughs, and checking in with one another.

Alongside the fun and games, we took time to chat about how everyone has been feeling and the current challenges they may be facing. These conversations remind us that no one has to face life's ups and downs alone.

Groups like this play such an important role in supporting mental wellbeing, reducing isolation, and bringing people together in a welcoming, friendly environment where everyone feels valued and heard.

We can't wait for the next one! 💚

Mind Maintenance in October: Our Men Too groups are available to all men aged 18 and over.

All members of staff are DBS checked and fully trained in safeguarding, su***de prevention, first aid, domestic violence awareness, conflict management, food hygiene, and health and fitness. Our team are fully qualified in counselling and bring years of experience to the groups.

Our men’s groups provide a safe, ethical, and confidential space, with clear ground rules in place to keep everyone safe. We welcome everyone with free morning refreshments and breakfast.

Each session begins with a grounding or breathing exercise to help everyone relax and sit with their feelings. Group members are then invited to check in and share how they are feeling, any challenges they may be facing, or positive steps they are taking.

A trained member of staff facilitates the check-in and reminds everyone of the main ground rules before starting, including:

Phones away and on silent

Respect for others

Mindfulness in how we speak and what we say

Confidentiality

Only speaking about our own experiences

No negative self-talk

No interrupting, giving advice, or offering solutions while someone else is speaking

Allowing the facilitator to lead the session while going around the check-in

After the check-in, each session includes supportive activities such as art therapy, personal development and self-awareness work, DIY projects, days out, mindfulness, fun and games, mental health exercises, or open discussions around inspiring and meaningful topics.

We stop for lunch with free snacks, and drinks to help with the cost of living. This also provides time to sit together, socialise as a group, welcome new members, and continue to respect one another in a supportive environment.

Each session ends with a check-out, giving everyone the opportunity to reflect on how they are leaving. We also offer the chance to speak privately with a member of staff at the end of the session or to book into any of our other services, including counselling, listening support, cost of living support, or signposting to other organisations or charities if additional support is needed.

A fantastic turnout for this month's Mind Maintenance group as we came together for our monthly long check-in and networking session.

We begin every session with a guided visualisation, followed by a brief check-in and check-out focused on how we're feeling, with the option of one-to-one support at the end if needed.

Our monthly long check-in gives members the opportunity to reflect more deeply on their month by exploring four key questions:

💙 How am I feeling?

💙 Have I faced any challenges?

💙 What good things have happened to me?

💙 What do I need to do to continue progressing or make positive changes?

As always, the room was filled with honesty, self-awareness, encouragement and mutual support. The men empowered one another by openly sharing their thoughts, feelings and experiences, creating a safe space where everyone felt heard and supported.

It was also fantastic to welcome two new members to the group. Hearing them leave saying how welcoming everyone had been and what a positive experience they had was wonderful feedback to receive. It reflects the supportive, non-judgemental environment that our members continue to create for one another every month.

Alongside our long check-in, we also held our monthly networking session, giving members the opportunity to connect with local organisations and discover additional support available within the community.

On Men Too ran their monthly group session in partnership with Forum Housing Association to talk openly in a group environment about mental health and any challenges they’re facing.

The session was facilitated by Anthony from Men Too alongside Phil, who helps lead the Ash Villas supported accommodation project.

Both the Men Too team and Ash Villas staff are fully qualified in counselling, with extensive experience in group facilitation, training delivery, and safeguarding for both adults and children.

This collaboration creates a powerful, supportive space for men’s mental health — a place where men can open up, feel heard, and be empowered to grow and move forward.

It was a privilege to sit with the residents, hear their stories, and listen to their reflections and life experiences.

In today’s session, our Grandparents Group took a deep dive into understanding the true difference between mindfulness and meditation! 💡✨

We explored how mindfulness is simply paying attention to the present moment on purpose, with curiosity and without judgment. It’s all about the power of being "here and now," grounding ourselves in the present rather than getting caught up in yesterday’s worries or tomorrow’s to-do list. While meditation is a formal practice, mindfulness is a tool we can carry with us every single day.

The energy in the room was fantastic! Everyone dove right into the discussion, shared wonderful insights, and left feeling brighter, happier, and truly present. 🌼😊

We listen. We care. We welcome.
