How do I join? Register your interest.
Groups are open to all male students, including those who identify as male but are non-binary and transgender.
To register your interest please complete the self-referral form here.
Once you have registered your interest in joining the group, the group facilitator will contact you to arrange a 1:1 pre-group appointment. These appointments last around 15 minutes and give you the opportunity to learn more about the group. The facilitator will also talk to you about your needs and any mental health support you’re currently accessing.
It’s not always suitable to attend both individual counselling and a peer support group at the same time. Together, you’ll decide whether the group is the right one for you.
Can I join the group after it has started?
Groups normally consist of the same members throughout their lifecycle, enabling a secure and cohesive group to develop.
Registration for the group closes once it reaches full capacity or after two weeks once it has started.
If you become interested in a group after it has already started, let the group facilitator know so that you can be considered for the next cohort.
