FAQs
Common questions about the Men in Intimacy group.
Is this group for me?
This group is for adult men who are struggling with establishing emotional connections, communicating their needs, sex and intimacy, or maintaining stable relationships. Considering that this is a support group where conversations can evoke strong emotional responses it would be recommended to count with some external source of support.
In order to keep a safe and non-judgmental environment for everyone, clients should be able to respect the group boundaries, be open to different perspectives, and share emotional space within others.
Can I Drop-In Or Is The Group Closed?
This will be a closed group of 5 or 6 members. However, the group will be open to accept new members if a spot becomes available at the beginning of every month. Members can choose to stay as long as they would like.
What’s The Commitment & Attendance Policy?
We ask that clients who occupy a spot in the group commit to attending at least 80% of the sessions, which means attending at least five out of six sessions. We request a 3-month commitment to foster group cohesion, safety, and trust. Additionally, we require a 48-hour notice for cancellations to avoid incurring the full fee for the group session.
Will This Group Be In Person?
This group is offered in both in-person and virtual sessions.
What’s The Policy Around Illness?
Clients are kindly asked to remain at home if they are feeling unwell. If clients are beyond the infectious period but still experiencing symptoms of infection (such as a lingering cough), we request that they wear a fitted mask during the group sessions for the safety and comfort of all participants.
