Man Down Plymouth weekly mental health talking group

💬 What is Man Down?
We're dedicated to reducing male suicides and combating the stigma around mental health by offering a supportive space for men to discuss their emotions. We facilitate free, informal talking group meetings across the UK!

💬 What Happens at Man Down?
Join us every Thursday at 7 PM for a welcoming environment where men can express their mental health experiences. We foster open conversations and ensure that every session remains confidential and non-judgmental. In addition, we organize social meet-ups and maintain an online peer support group for attendees.

💬 How Does the Evening Begin?
Arrive between 6:45 PM and 7 PM, where a facilitator will greet you and introduce you to other members. We understand that starting something new can be daunting, but each participant shares that experience, making for a warm welcome for newcomers!

💬 What Does the Meeting Look Like?
The meeting kicks off at 7 PM with an introduction about Man Down. You'll discover our social activities and online community for staying connected between sessions. Expect a safe space to speak openly, as all group members respect confidentiality and a non-judgmental atmosphere.

💬 Do I Have to Share?
Not at all! You’re welcome to listen and absorb as much as you'd like. When you feel ready after a few sessions, you might choose to share your experience.

💬 Do I Need to RSVP?
No need to let us know in advance—just turn up on the evening.

💬 Is There Any Cost to Attend?
Absolutely not! All costs are covered by Man Down, a Community Interest Company supported by generous donations and fundraising efforts.

💬 What About Refreshments?
We provide tea, coffee, and water during the sessions.

💬 Does Man Down Offer Professional Help?
We aim to create a platform for open discussions around emotions, not to provide professional mental health assistance. While our sessions are led by volunteers, we can guide you to professional services available throughout the UK if needed.

💬 Feeling Struggled?
If you're currently facing mental health challenges, please seek professional assistance. Many participants find value in the group for clarity and support, realizing they’re not alone.

💬 Anxious About Attending?
Feeling nervous is completely normal! Many find that stepping through the door is challenging, but we're here for you whenever you're ready! 🙌
