Whens the last time you checked in with yourself?
In recognition of the ongoing need for supportive environments, Men-toolbox is thrilled to announce that the Check-Inn has transitioned into a monthly event, building on the success of our initial Men's Mental Health Month initiative. This inviting space is specifically crafted for men of African and Caribbean heritage to connect, unwind, and engage in meaningful conversations about their mental wellbeing.
This initiative is crucial for fostering community and encouraging dialogue, enabling participants to unpick and redefine traditional notions of masculinity and manhood. By addressing the often-overlooked emotional and spiritual dimensions of wellbeing, we create a holistic approach that nurtures the whole person.
The Check-Inn serves as a vital platform for men to explore their identities, share their stories, and develop healthier perspectives on masculinity. Such spaces not only empower individuals but also promote collective healing, allowing men to support one another in prioritising their mental wellbeing. Join us as we continue this important journey together.
New dates and location will be announced soon!
