We believe that young men have lots of potential and much to offer our community.
But we know that everyone, including young men, face challenges at some point in their lives.
Some of the challenges facing young men include:
Hassles with parents – often in mixed families
Being bullied at school, at home or in the neighbourhood
Problems with a teacher or boss
Something bad happening to someone close (death in the family, etc)
Relationship break up
Losing a job or having problems getting a job
Money worries
Using alcohol or drugs to cope with difficult issues
Being controlled by anger or other destructive emotions
Addictions to things like Internet porn or gambling
Adjusting to life outside school, home or detention
If you know (or you are) a young guy facing a challenge and could really use someone to talk to, give us a call and come in for a chat.
We believe that young men are capable of finding solutions from their own strengths and resources. Our counselling service helps them identify and access those resources in order to bring about positive changes in their lives.
We provide a safe place for young men to explore options to solve challenges that may have arisen at school, at home, with friends, their health, their money situation or even their spirituality. If needed, we can also work with parents or other significant people in their life.
All services at Menslink are free.
There are no fees or charges. They’re completely confidential and counselling is available to any young guy aged 10-25.
Counselling is offered at our office in Holder, or at selected schools and centres around Canberra.
