IF the term 'men's support group' brings to mind images of depressed men sitting around talking for hours on end, think again.

Councillor and psychotherapist Adrian Hanks' Northern Rivers Men's Circle is a weekly meeting group where men get together in a supportive and safe environment to work through issues relevant to them.

And it's a far cry from the preconceived images you may have in mind.

"We don't just sit around talking for hours," Adrian says. "Every week is Thomas sabo charms different and I make sure the meetings are lively and entertaining. We throw a ball around, play different games - last week we played a board game for a couple of hours called Conversation, an educational board game that encouraged the men to speak more deeply - I have lots of tools I work with to facilitate the men opening up."

The meetings are designed to allow men to support one another and discuss issues and topics that are affecting their lives, and to give them the tools to change behaviours they feel are holding them back.

"I facilitate the weekly meeting," Adrian says. "So I take a topic or subject and we work with those.

"We discuss the topic, and then I take them through a psychotherapeutic process such as clay work, drawing, and/or a psycho drama, where we use our imaginations, and put ourselves in the perspective of our feelings.

"We make our feelings visible through psycho drama. It takes the topic out of our thinking realm. I say its thinking, feeling and willing."

Adrian says that men face specific challenges, and offering them a safe place to discuss these has been enormously helpful to the men who attend.

"Communication is probably the biggest one that affects most men," he said. "I think women have more access in our community to communication.

"They seem to have more roles models in that area. Often men don't have as many role models who communicate effectively."

"These meetings offer a place where men can get support and professional guidance. With my qualifications I am able to give professional guidance but equally important to the men is the support they get from each other.

"We cover a huge range of topics - really anything that is on their mind - from relationships, to work, to drug or alcohol dependency, domestic violence, communication... anything that affects them."

Adrian says the meetings aren't just about addressing particular problems; they are also about recognising the great qualities of the attendees. "I think it's hard sometimes for men to acknowledge and celebrate their good qualities," he said. "It's much easier for a man to say 'oh I'm a bad this or that', but what I do in the meetings is help the men own their good qualities; get them to recognise them, and celebrate them."

Adrian says it can sometimes be a challenge getting men to attend that first meeting. "Of course it's a challenge for many men to get the courage up to come to their first meeting," he says. "You walk into a room full of strangers - that can be daunting.

"But when I speak to men (about the meetings) I always say 'Just come to one and see how you feel'. Once they have been to one meeting they see what a supportive environment it is."

"We have so many different men," he continued. "From businessmen to unemployed men, from 25-year-olds to 70-year-olds. I think that'

EVERY so often the subject of teenage pregnancies is raised and "authorities" come up with various reasons and ways to deal with it.
