Capillary Wave Community
We are a new Men’s Mental Health support group with the goal of becoming a full resource center for men who are suffering from any type of mental health challenges. Men’s mental health is all encompassing so we don’t have a singular focus. It makes no mind if someone is suffering a little or a lot, we say pull up a chair!
‘Men don’t share their feelings’ and that we suffer in silence… while there is truth in that there is also unequivocal truth in that men do talk when given the space and support. During the last meeting a new brother said “I did everything I could to talk myself out of coming here tonight” – I’m sure that the emotions of shame, guilt, weakness (the inner critic) were doing their best to stop him… by the end of our meeting, his smile and attitude was contagious to the rest of us.
The stigma of, you’re not manly if you do this or that when it comes to emotions is complete garbage. We all have similar life experiences, we are not alone, we are not the first person to go through what we’re going through, thoughts are not reality. We are not meant to be islands onto ourselves.
A community of support without judgement, where you can talk or listen as much as you want is the space we provide. Everyone who has attended says they leave feeling better than when they arrived.
We meet every Monday 7-9pm at the Haber Community Center
