Support Group for Men
Navigating the expectations of being perceived as male.
This is a semester-long group intended to serve the mental health needs of
students who identify as men. It provides a safe space for students to discuss
the unique challenges of navigating the norms and expectations of being
perceived as male. These norms and expectations can be highly enforced by
society, but there's rarely any guidance on how to enact them or understanding
of why they are enforced. This group can be a space where men and masculine
presenting students can ask questions they've otherwise been afraid to,
acknowledge challenges living up to expectations, and support one another in
finding ways forward. The goal is for members to develop meaningful connections
with others, find community, and get support regarding their challenges.
This group will take place virtually on Tuesdays from 2 - 3:15 p.m. beginning February 27.
Due to licensure laws, all students must be located in the state of Maryland during the group.
The first step to joining any group is to complete an Initial Consultation appointment. Please call us at 410-455-2542 or visit the RetrieverCare portal to schedule.
For general group questions, or if you need accommodations for a disability, please send a secure message to our Group Coordinator, Lauren Mirzakhalili, LCSW-C, via the patient portal at least one week prior to the start of group and RIH will arrange for services.
All RIH services are LGBTQIA2S+ friendly and are welcoming to all diverse populations.
