MEN’S GROUP

There is very little in the way of therapeutic group support that is dedicated to men. Perhaps due to social priming, and a desire to provide and be strong, men are simply not as likely to ask for help as their female counterparts.

Thus our husbands, fathers, in laws, brothers and sons can suffer in silence for years as the negative effects of stress and pressure build up into depression, emotional withdrawal, outbursts of rage and shame, infidelity, and sometimes thoughts of suicide.

Mandy Saligari and Mu’Dita Farrell facilitate this group on alternate weeks.

Thursday 6:00-7:30pm Limited Numbers

We are committed to supporting the whole family and so provide a group specifically for the men who come to Charter, either for themselves or as part of a family seeking help, education and support.

Programme Description: This group provides a safe and confidential setting for men to talk about what’s going on for them; to explore the male role in today’s society, the influence of upbringing in how they are today, the relationship with intimacy or with a family member, with anger and with how to manage stress, whilst promoting self-reflection, tolerance, curiosity and self-esteem.

Structure: The Men’s Group sessions are currently held online due to Covid-19.

The sessions run weekly, every Thursday evening at 5.30-7PM.

We suggest a commitment of at least 3-6 months to gain the most benefit from the experience.

M – OUTPATIENT PROGRAMME

I made the call, listened and got to work. It was the best call I ever made. Charter shone the light on the darkness and made it a safe place for me to step out into the light. With courage, honesty, and compassion, I now show up for life every day, I now show up for me every day.

I am so very grateful to all of the team at Charter. They are professional, they are fun, and most of all, they really really care!

D – OUTPATIENT PROGRAMME

The work is comprehensive, searching and at times, uncomfortable. But it's absolutely necessary. My advice to anyone struggling with addiction who's thinking about going is very simple.

Do it. Throw in the towel. Get yourself into group, open up, get honest.

J – OUTPATIENT PROGRAMME

The Living Well Programme immediately cut right to the core of my issues and I started to soften and develop as an individual. At times it was painful, but at always I felt held by the programme.

I did not feel just like a number. The care and the attention of the whole Charter team never faltered. The main therapists are phenomenally skilled and the group dynamic was supportive, yet challenging. I have made connections and friendships I expect to last a lifetime.

M – OUTPATIENT PROGRAMME

Charter gave me my first real glimpse of freedom of my addiction and the will to face another day free of fear. Every single therapist brought their own particular stance into the groups, and there was as much laughter as tears. I can only say thank you.

J – OUTPATIENT PROGRAMME

What makes Charter so special is the way that the team work together to create a complete picture of what you need and where you’re at, on an almost second by second basis. I felt seen and heard. This made me feel safe enough to get on with the painful risks I needed to take in group to get properly well; the risks I’d spent a whole life avoiding.
