Men Matter provides wellbeing and personal-development resources for men. This page sets out plainly what that does and doesn't mean, because being vague about it would help nobody.
What Men Matter is
- Practical structure and everyday tools built around the four-ingredient Men Matter Method.
- Written resources, journals and guided reflection you work through yourself.
- One-to-one sessions that apply the same method to your circumstances.
What Men Matter is not
- It is not therapy, counselling or psychotherapy.
- It is not medical or psychiatric care, and nothing here is a diagnosis or a treatment plan.
- It is not a substitute for advice from your GP or a registered clinician.
- It is not a crisis or emergency service, and it is not monitored around the clock.
The 90-Minute Reset
The 90-Minute Reset is a structured wellbeing session. It works well alongside clinical care where you already have it, and it is not a replacement for it. If something comes up in a session that needs professional support, you'll be told so directly and pointed toward the right kind of help.
Medical conditions and medication
If you are receiving treatment for a physical or mental health condition, talk to your clinician before making changes based on Men Matter material — particularly anything involving diet, exercise, sleep or alcohol. Never stop or alter prescribed medication on the basis of anything you read here.
Your responsibility
You decide what to act on. Men Matter resources are general in nature and cannot account for your individual circumstances or medical history. Use your judgement, and seek professional advice when something is beyond the scope of general wellbeing material.
If you need help now
If you are in crisis, or worried about your own safety or someone else's, please get help immediately rather than working through a resource:
- Emergency — call 999.
- Samaritans — 116 123, free, any time of day or night.
- NHS 111 — for urgent medical advice that isn't an emergency.
- Your GP — the right first step for ongoing mental health support.
Asking for help is the single most useful thing a man can do. Please do it.
