| Overview of Work/Interest: |
MENSWORK provides individual counselling for men and personal leadership
programmes especially for men, both in Dublin and throughout Ireland.
It helps release the courage, the authenticity, communication skills,
wisdom, respect, and, zest for life that is within all men. It releases
the stresses of trying to be who we are not. It bridges the gap between
who you feel you are and what you do in the real world.
Counselling for men is different. The Menswork approach understands and
addresses the underlying causes of life difficulties common to many men.
It helps men overcome the pressures to perform, to be successful at any
cost, to find their own way of communicating in relationships, to be more
fulfilled and healthy. It encourages the emergence of our specific male
voice in the world.
Personal leadership groups support men to develop our generative masculinity.
Generative masculinity is where we are living our true role in life as
men in our communities. It is the ability to provide nurture, leadership
and mentoring. Finding our individual way to this requires initiation,
nurturing, healing, and maturity. This is best enabled in the company
of other men where we can:
- Take time out to listen to our stories in the company of other men
- Share how we communicate in relationships
- Explore the male legacy we have inherited
- Discuss what kind of power men exercise
- Discuss what gives us a sense of value in life as men
