ManUP:

Men's Process Group


The mass of men lead quiet lives of desperation.

Henry David Thoreau

Let's face it, men. We have been raised to believe we have to fit squarely inside "the man box."
The only emotion we are allowed to express is anger. Well, we are calling BS on that! Skylight’s
men's process groups are a place to let it out and connect with other men who are experiencing
many of the same issues as you. We are a group of real men who have meaningful conversations
that help reveal solutions to the problems we face.

 

Members have the opportunity to tell their stories, solicit feedback, and articulate their fears,
anger, loneliness, shame, guilt, hurt, and sadness about the circumstances and events that have
occurred in their lives. A typical session might include discussions about relational conflict,
divorce, insecurities, self-concept, masculinity constructs, job and career uncertainty, substance
use, loss, aging, family estrangement, and a whole host of topics that provoke stress,
heartache, and pain. Primary tenets of Skylight groups are non-judgment/acceptance, respect, transparency, openness, empathy, and commitment.
