Separate yourself from the stress and triggers of your everyday routine in a safe and supportive environment with San Diego’s most comprehensive residential treatment program at the Mental Health Center of San Diego.
The Mental Health Center of San Diego offers support groups for men that help men navigate through difficult situations, manage their emotions, cope with trauma, and address mental health issues or disorders they are experiencing.
For decades, society has imposed many stigmas on men to be strong and repress their emotions. Many of the stigmas men face are extremely unhealthy and antiquated. Men’s support groups for mental health-related issues are becoming increasingly more common as people begin to acknowledge that a men’s mental health is a critical part of their overall well-being.

The goal of a men’s support group is to assist men in achieving personal growth. Men’s support groups will typically consist of 6–15 men that meet regularly once a week, biweekly, or monthly.
Men can find support for several gender-specific topics they face related to mental health and life.
