Our closed groups are the same group of men meeting monthly in six month terms, but most men renew for years.
Closed group men have the space to get to know one another at a deeper level than at the open groups.
Closed group men get access to their own private WhatsApp group and self-organise social events.
They also enjoy discounts and priority bookings on MenSpeak open groups and other events.
Email Kenny if you're interested in a closed group trial, sooner rather than later, as it can take time for a space to open with the right closed group.
"I think groups like this are hugely important, for men particularly, because there are so few other outlets for men to open up and talk frankly about their feelings without fear of embarrassment or being judged."
"In the first group I attended, I was able to vocalise negative thoughts and feelings that I had been internalising for months, and felt a weight on my mind immediately starting to shift. I felt supported, respected, and challenged to become a better person."
Jamie Rudman, Public Health Professional
"I got into mens groups after reading 'No More Mr Nice Guy' by Robert Glover. I feel like I've transitioned from a boy to man thanks to MenSpeak. Through it I've discovered purpose, passion, and my closest friends."
Bertie, 27
"I joined MenSpeak to share my life challenges during my separation from my ex-wife. I needed someone to listen as I felt I had no one to really turn to in a time of need. And this program saved my life. Literally."
John D, Computer Programmer
"I built an invaluable social network of great men and friends to share, connect and learn with. The groups have helped me become a better and authentic man, husband and father. The groups are priceless to help navigate the ups and downs of personal and professional life."
"I wish MenSpeak was available to me from teenage years. I have definitely been saved from experiencing enduring labels and problems that would have been labelled as "mental health problems."
