Hub
Journal & Resources
A quiet place to find the right next thing — a prompt, a guide, a video, a word.
Why we made this hub
A quiet room, not a curriculum
Most self-help material for men reads like a to-do list. This hub is deliberately not that. It's a small, quiet room of prompts, guides and short films you can walk into on a hard evening and walk out of five minutes later with slightly less pressure in your chest.
Every resource here has been written or reviewed by trauma-informed men who work face-to-face with men in Canterbury and across the UK. The tone is honest, not clinical. The pace is yours.
How to use it
If you don't know where to start, open a Journal Guide and read the first prompt. You don't have to write anything. Just sitting with the question is the first move.
If words feel too much, watch a Journal Video instead. They're short, undramatic, and made for the ten minutes before bed when your head won't switch off.
If you need language for what's actually going on, the Feelings Library gives you plain-English names for the states men most often carry. Naming a thing is often the first act of shrinking it.
If you want a longer read, the Evergreen Guides go deep on the topics that come up again and again in our men's circles — grief, shame, fatherhood, anger, loneliness, purpose.
Questions men often ask
- Do I need to be 'good at journalling' to use this?
- No. Most of the men we work with have never kept a journal in their lives. The prompts here are designed for men who feel awkward about writing. A single line counts. So does closing the notebook without writing anything.
- Is this a substitute for therapy?
- No. MENd Together is a peer-led community, not a clinical service. These resources sit alongside therapy, medical care or crisis support — they don't replace them. If you're in crisis in the UK, call 999 or Samaritans on 116 123.
- Is any of this tracked or shared?
- Nothing you write in your own notebook is visible to us. If you use the Recovery Hub inside the members app, your reflections are private to your account and encrypted at rest.
- How often is new material added?
- New guides, videos and reflective pieces are added roughly every fortnight, drawn from the themes that come up most often in our Canterbury men's circles and one-to-one work.
