Men's Counselling

Our Men’s Counselling Program provides individual and/or group counselling to men who would like to improve their relationships, reduce stress and better manage conflict.

If you struggle with managing stress, these tips may help:

  • Delegate tasks to others. Trust others to get it done.
  • Prioritize tasks. Do what must be done now.
  • Take a break (but avoid caffeine & nicotine).
  • Get outside.
  • Talk to someone.
  • Record your thoughts, or write them down.
  • Exercise.
  • Participate in activities you enjoy.
  • Take five deep breaths.
  • Take time to notice your surroundings.
  • Laugh whenever possible.

80% of your worries never occur. If you can do something about it, get it done. Otherwise, don’t let it bother you.

The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for A.A. membership. Their primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.
