MEn’s mental health network
Practical skills. Real conversations. Stronger connections.
Mental health is part of being human. Talking about it should be too.
CMHA-NL’s Men’s Mental Health Network creates practical, supportive spaces for men to better understand their mental health, build everyday skills and strengthen connection with others.
Whether you’re looking for a single session for your workplace or community group, or a deeper eight-week experience, the program is designed to make conversations about mental health more approachable and useful.

Practical Tools
Skills participants can use every day
Mental health skills shouldn’t feel out of reach.
Many men are used to pushing through stress, keeping things to themselves or waiting until something becomes overwhelming before reaching out.
The Men’s Mental Health Network takes a different approach.
Through practical education, facilitated conversation and skill-building, participants learn how to recognize what’s happening, respond to stress and emotions, rethink unhelpful patterns, strengthen relationships and build a plan for maintaining their mental health.
Two ways to bring the program to your group.
Not every group needs the same thing. Choose a focused introduction or create space for deeper learning over time.
ONE-TIME PRESENTATION
Start the Conversation
A 90-minute workshop designed for workplaces, community groups and awareness events.
Participants explore mental health and stigma, stress and warning signs, the 4 R’s — Recognize, Regulate, Reframe and Review — connection, wellness and developing a personal plan.
