Program Description:
Man Up is a confidential support group for young men to discuss issues, receive support, develop new skills, and form positive relationships with peers and mentors. This free program consists of 1.5 hour weekly sessions for 10 weeks and will take place at Bristol Parks, Recreation, Youth & Community Services main office, located at 51 High St, Bristol CT 06010. Participants can be referred by school personnel, Bristol Youth and Community Services staff, and parents/guardians. The size of this group will range between ten to twelve adolescent males ages 11-13 years old. Man Up is created to act as a safe space for all participants to talk about hardships they are currently facing or have gone through in the past. Man Up looks to provide an opportunity for young men to bond with positive male role models while experiencing alternatives to think, feel, and do.
