Description
UMatter engages men who are isolated and vulnerable due to bereavement, long-term mental or physical illness, disability, poverty, past trauma, being from marginalised communities, and similar.
We offer practical and emotional support to participants via weekly group activities, one-to-one advice when needed, and building men’s knowledge, skills, confidence and opportunities for recovery, increased resilience and improved wellbeing.
Our UMatter worker can help you attend appointments, make phone calls and navigate life. Our worker, John, can support you to a position where you feel able to seek advice from our main service – from obtaining bank statements, understanding letters or being supported on appointments.
Group session every Thursday morning or 1-2-1 sessions if required.
