For Facilitators & Coaches
Hold space for men. Get paid fairly. Be part of something bigger.
MENd Together is building a UK-wide network of trauma-aware facilitators, coaches, and circle leaders. If you have the skills, the lived experience and the steadiness, we want to hear from you.
Who we're looking for
We're not a generic coaching directory. MENDTOGETHER CIC works with men carrying childhood trauma, addiction recovery, fatherhood pressure, grief, and suicidal ideation. Our facilitators are trauma-aware, regulated, and grounded.
Trauma-aware practitioners
Therapists, counsellors, somatic practitioners or trained peer-support workers with verifiable training.
Men's circle facilitators
Experience holding circles, sweat lodges, rites-of-passage work, or peer-support groups for men.
Recovery & addiction coaches
Certified coaches working with men in recovery from alcohol, drugs, behavioural addictions or post-rehab.
Lived-experience leaders
Men with lived experience of trauma, recovery or fatherhood who have done their own work and now hold space for others.
