MenTOR

 MenTOR GROUP COUNSELLING​

Group counselling for men is offered three times per year through the MenTOR program. The MenTOR model uses co-facilitators (one woman and one man) to provide group counselling. The group is 15 – 20 weeks long and focuses on relationship skills, managing anger, understanding gender-based privilege, and enhancing communication skills.

The group is open to a maximum of twelve men. It is modelled after an evidence-based program in New Westminster. The program has been well-researched and is currently supported through a fee-based model and the Violence Prevention and Intervention stream of the Civil Forfeiture grant.
Participants meet once weekly online for two hours in a trauma-informed group setting. Two registered Clinical Counselors, a female and a male facilitator, facilitate the group.

This program helps participants develop the following skills
·       Develop healthy relationship skills
·       Identify and express a range of emotions
·       Learn about factors that enhance healthy relationships and those contributing to relationship crises or interpersonal violence.
·       Learn stress management skills
·       Learn emotional management skills
·       Develop healthy parenting skills
·       Develop healthy coping mechanisms.

·       Develop healthy partnership skills
·       Construct power and the need for safety.

Referrals are received from hospitals, doctor offices, MCFD, WorkBC, Corrections (not men currently before the courts), CVAP, FNHA, and other community stakeholders. The program charges a nominal fee of $20 per session. Subsidies are also available.
