Re-Naming of the group

After one year running the Men’s group as ‘Men on the Edge’ we revisited the purpose, activity, effectiveness and style of the group.
The result of our evaluation was that we started the group with the intention of offering a place for Men that had little to turn to. Not necessarily ‘broken’ Men, yet people who are in need of support and we wanted to be one way of helping someone to get through tough times.
We made some great experiences with Men coming and leaving a few months later with what they were looking for. Being there for others to download what goes on in their life and assisting to get past where they were stuck. Teaching ways to better be aware of one self and how we act out and be with others.
Basically seeing our little support network working.

In our discussion we also had a good look and talk about the name of the group and even though it may be the appropriate name for what the group was intended to be, we decided for a name change.
Welcome to the OPEN MEN’S GROUP

We hope with this new label for our circle to attract more Men to come and sit with us and share their story, as we know that it already takes some courage to walk into a room with people you’ve never seen before, so we wanted to make the name a bit more inviting.
And how about the abbreviation  …  🙂
