So, what does ManLine do?

This is one of the first questions asked by most people phoning for the first time. Translated this means I'm having trouble coping, I need help and have no idea what sort of help or how to get it.

For a lot of men this is their first contact with us. They often call at the suggestion of a friend, partner, family member, doctor or employer, and this first phone call is completely foreign territory: asking for help can be heart pounding scary stuff.

So, what does Manline do? Who are we? And how do we operate?

We are a community agency that "works'' with men. We offer counselling, therapy, men's groups and stopping violence / anger management programmes.

After the initial phone call all men wanting to see us have a personal appointment with a male counselor. This gives us an opportunity to listen to what brought him here in the first place, and most importantly, a chance for him to check us out before committing to engage our services. At the end of the initial session (we call it a face-to-face appointment) the client and counselor agree to "the next step".

This might be continuing with one on one face to face counseling, attendance at a stopping violence/anger management group or a therapy group, or referral to another service that may be more appropriate.

We never let money issues stand in the way of men accessing our services and whilst we suggest a scale of fees we will also accept koha.
