Things you might be wondering
Five questions. Plain answers.
The Mensdate Project Is a not-for-profit built on one belief......that men connected to love and to what a genuinely happy life looks like are less likely to lose their lives to suicide. It started with a friendship and a monthly brunch. It grew into a mission. Two programs, one for men in recovery and one for women who survived the suicide of someone they loved. Monthly Mensdate brunches launching across Canada. One city, one room at a time.
Two programs.
No More Man For men who know something has to change. Ten sessions of real conversation, peer-to-peer. Built around two cornerstones......love and happiness......and the tools to actually get there.
No More Woman For women carrying grief after losing someone to suicide. Ten sessions. You don't have to leave him behind to find your way forward.
Both are funded through donations. Cost is never the barrier.
No. The Mensdate Project is not therapy, counselling, or coaching. What it is......peer support. Facilitated conversation between people with lived experience. The programs are built from twenty years in self-development rooms and coming out the other side. No stigma. No shame. Real support from men who've been there. If you need clinical support, we'll connect you with what's available in your area. This is the room that makes it easier to reach for it.
The brunches Each man buys his own meal. That's intentional. This isn't about a free meal, it's about showing up for yourself. Want to bring a friend and cover his meal? That's between you.
Bringing a brunch to your city Costs vary by location. We do the work......budgeting, logistics, reaching out to local and provincial funding sources to see what's available in your area.
The programs No More Man and No More Woman are both funded through donations. The full value of the 10-session program is $1,360. Programs can also be purchased outright. Donation-based applicants are reviewed monthly by the board. Start the conversation.
