How to understand who I am? "Real man" or person. Stereotype or personality. A support group for men is a free and safe space where men can share their problems and life difficulties, learn and learn something new. As a result of working in a group, each participant acquires the ability for personal growth, creates a culture of caring for their own mental health and the mental health of others, receives the opportunity and tools for self-regulation of their mental state, which reduces the negative consequences of life crises and generally normalizes life. Group work is built on basic life values, such as physical and moral health, the importance of family and conscious fatherhood, the importance of traditions and cultural heritage of our country, the importance of an active life and civic position. As experience with men and men’s groups shows, men’s consciousness is more present degree of stereotypical perception of basic life values, without reference to one’s own personality. This leads to serious intrapersonal conflicts, which subsequently manifest themselves in severe life crises, the use of alcohol and psychoactive substances (psychoactive substances), aggressive behavior and other severe consequences, primarily for the man himself, not to mention the destructive external effect of these manifestations. Despite the fact that the actual desires and needs of a mentally healthy man are no different from the basic values ​​of life, in the modern realities of a pandemic, economic and geopolitical instability, moreover, in a metropolis, consciousness does not have time to resolve internal contradictions and conflicts in a normal way, which leads to emotional -psychological “burnout” and, as a consequence, the asocial manifestation of these psychological phenomena. Given the general similarity of the causes of such internal conflicts, due to multiple multidirectional attitudes about the image of a “real man,” it is very difficult for men to seek help and receive support. The advantage of group work in this case is that the participant ceases to feel the loneliness and uniqueness of his own problems and life’s adversities, and accordingly, his toolkit for solving them expands.
