Men’s Mental Health Support Groups
Men’s mental health support groups or group therapy is known to provide individuals a safe space to share experiences, develop stronger communication skills, and learn to develop trusting and meaningful connections with other people. At Oceanside Mental Health, clients in partial hospitalization programs (PHP) and intensive outpatient programs (IOP) have the opportunity to participate in psychoeducation, process, and experiential groups. These group therapy sessions at our San Diego center create a non-judgmental, supportive environment that fosters connection and empowerment, creating a sense of community that sets this type of psychotherapy apart from individual therapy.
