Men’s mental health: connection starts here

Dublin Real is opening a conversation about the pressures men face—and the spaces that help us talk, connect and seek support. You do not need to have everything figured out to take part.

A place for honest conversation

We will explore loneliness, relationships, loss, work pressures, recovery, confidence and life changes. We welcome different experiences and aim for respectful discussion without judgement or pressure to disclose personal details.

A pilot group is being planned

We are gathering expressions of interest for one local group for men aged 18 and over. No sessions are currently open for booking. Dates, venue, facilitator, format and any cost will be confirmed before registration. Expressing interest is not a booking or a promise of a place.

Help shape the group

Would you prefer a small facilitated discussion, a walk-and-talk, or a practical wellbeing workshop? What times and location would make it easier to attend?

To express interest, email info@dublinreal.com with the subject “Men’s group interest”, or use our Contact page. Include your first name, preferred location, availability and format. Please do not send medical histories or sensitive personal information. We will use your enquiry to respond about this proposed group; it will not subscribe you to a general mailing list.

How we will prepare

Before launch we will establish the group’s purpose, facilitator responsibilities, participation guidelines, confidentiality boundaries, safeguarding arrangements and referral routes. We will clearly state whether the final format is peer support, a wellbeing workshop or group therapy. Confidentiality in a group cannot be guaranteed by a facilitator alone.

Support while the group develops

This page and the proposed group are not an emergency or crisis service. If you need support now, contact your GP or visit the HSE mental health information service: https://www2.hse.ie/mental-health/
