M.A.N came into being in 1994 through the efforts of a group of local men seeking to provide a safe space for men to find support with the crisis’s and life issues they were experiencing.
Initially meeting only as a weekly self-help support group, in 1996 MAN constituted as a charity.
The charities aim is “Promoting the Health and Well-being of men in the North West of Ireland" by offering advice, counselling and support in a range of issues such as Men's Health Education and Health Promotion, with the objectives of;
In 1998 M.A.N secured it first base at 6 Shipquay Street, in 2006 we relocated to new ground floor offices at 2 Dacre Terrace. In 2011 we have begun the new year with a move to our new premises at 40 Carlisle road.
Our base offers the platform for further development of M.A.N’s range of community based initiatives and support services to men throughout the North West.
M.A.N offers proactive support to men in time of crisis and/or whenever an identified need requires it, safe spaces to explore voice and gain insight with the many life issues men face today.
A core element of our work is addressing the isolation men feel, isolation that can in times of crisis lead to serious life consequences like addiction, depression, and in some extreme instances suicide.
Fundamental to our work is an ethos of preventative intervention. This recognises and supports men and boys emotional, physical, mental, spiritual and social life experiences, aiming to develop greater holistic health and well being.
