Psychosocial Support Services
Let’s face it – the way we feel about ourselves and others, our moods and our relationships all impact on our sexual attitudes and behaviour. Health4Men offers a range of free psychosocial services that augment our medical services.
Counselling:
We offer free, professional short-term counselling to men on any dynamic that relates to their sexual wellbeing. In addition to counselling individual men we specialise in counselling same-sex male couples in a confidential and relaxed environment. Men who have recently tested HIV positive or who are about to initiate HIV-related treatment are encouraged to utilise our counselling service.
Join any of Health4Men's FREE groups! All groups are professionally facilitated specially for gay and bisexual men.
