This service is now a crucial part of my weekly routine and I come away every week feeling better in my mind and about myself.

Really helpful, welcoming team. A real good atmosphere, open and accepting.

– Men in Mind Participant, March 2024

I have gone through hell and back. I was a victim of constant verbal abuse and control for 22 years. I had nowhere to go or ask for help. Mind Dorset and Charlotte listened and helped guide me to Men in Mind at the football club (Bournemouth FC). I feel lucky I’m strong and have a support network but this group have accepted me and allowed me to recover mentally. I feel so happy these services are run for men and I feel life is good once more.
