When it was founded in September The Inner Man Project gave men in the community a virtual place to go for mental health support and to raise awareness of the issue.
Four months later, they have a physical place to call their own. The Inner Man Project has its own community centre at 6 941 South Railway St.
Co-founder Dylan Eckes says it’s huge for the group to have the space.
“On average we have 30-40 people coming into our peer sessions every week,” he says. “We have two or three counsellors now that basically show up to the peer sessions if anybody needs to talk. They use this space or one of the offices to do their appointments and a lot of these counsellors are doing it volunteer basis so we want to give the space to help each other out.”
