A men’s mental health group is set to host its first in person meeting next week.
On Tuesday 19th October, the Men In Need Together (MINT) Sheffield group will be having their first meeting at Hemingway’s on Devonshire Street, Sheffield from 6pm until 8pm.
John Nicol is running the Sheffield group as Head Facilitator for Sheffield MINT whilst studying his masters at The University of Sheffield.
He said: “MINT is extremely excited to give Sheffield’s men a space to come together to share and listen about individual experiences with mental health.
“The group will be a weekly opportunity for men to come together to check in with myself as facilitator and other members.”
Nicol added: “I’m excited for this to become a recourse for Sheffield and hope it is one that is used by many.”
The MINT organisation was founded in 2018 by CEO Joshuwaa Sturgeon after his close friend took his own life.
The organisation has several groups across the UK, including in Wakefield and South Leeds.
John added: “The benefits of the meeting include offering in person support which can be tailored to the needs of the group each week.
“As the weeks go by and attendance increases there will be lots of opportunity for feedback on how people wish the group to run.”
Anyone who is interested in the meetings should keep an eye on the group’s Facebook page Men In Need Together – Sheffield for updates.
