an opportunity for each man to share what is important to them.
Join a group and receive mutual support and growth. Led by a peer support person who has walked a similar path, you are welcome into our compassionate space, where individuals with similar challenges come together to offer a listening ear and a comforting word. We at Better Blokes foster learning, healing, and transformation. Join us on a journey of connection and empowerment at our next peer group
There is a 24 topic programme that guides the group meetings.
You can join one of our support groups by talking to one of our qualified peer support workers. They will help you decide what path forward is best for you: this may be receiving individual peer support or joining a group.
We host peer support groups throughout Auckland. Groups are hosted on different days and you can attend more than one group. Each group has a maximum membership of 10 and a meeting lasts about 2 hours.
All the meetings have the same format that gives everyone an opportunity to share. This sharing is not an open discussion, each man shares individually. This sharing is an opportunity for each man to share what is important to them.
Peer Support is Close.
“Teamwork begins by building trust. And the only way to do that is to overcome our need for invulnerability.” – Patrick Lencioni
