‘Men mind & mountains’ is a social enterprise offering professional support for mens mental health and well-being through the healing power of nature. Our initiatives bring together mindfulness practices with essential outdoor skills and time spent with experienced counsellors and coaches creating a supportive environment where participants can walk, talk, and grow.
Restoring mental health
Men often face societal pressures that can discourage open discussions about mental health. We believe in the power of nature as a catalyst for healing. Our program offers a unique blend of outdoor adventure and professional support tailored specifically for men.
Our Walks
Whether you are an individual or workplace team participants you will engage in guided walks through the stunning landscapes of the Mournes with trained coaches and counsellors. This approach allows for natural conversations that can lead to deeper insights and emotional growth.
In addition to therapeutic discussions, participants will learn essential mountain skills including map & compass work, navigation training, mountain weather awareness, kit and equipment essentials that enhance their outdoor experience and promote personal development:
