The intakes are very frequently men who require assistance with legal or domestic violence issues. Most used is our counsel-therapy.
Despite this, we offer peer support group facilitation, fathering advice clinics, Mindfulness, gender discussion group facilitation, employment resources, leadership and mentoring skills training, and personal support group counselling programs.

No, we make it a point to dig into the root of the problem, as most other organizations only slap bandages on the issues.

Isn't that literally the only advice people ever give to men?
"Just lift."
"But doctor, I lifted for 3 years, and I hated doing it every single time I went."
"Just keep lifting until you like it."

Oh wait, that wasn't even a question. Oops.

Weird question to ask, considering that isn't you.
You're aware of the situation and able to make use of your resources. Don't be afraid to work on expanding that network to include support you truly need and desire.
Successful people always note in their afterwards about "how they couldn't have done it without the support from many people," and it's true. Make connections, and gather the courage to seize what you have earned.
...Unless you're talking about the next time you feel that way. In that instance, I'd refer back to the above, but with mindfulness of the fact that you sometimes fall and get stuck for a time and need assistance getting up.
