‘Man Up’ men’s support group coming back to Red Deer Feb. 11
The Man Up men’s support group is back.
Based in Red Deer, the group will meet for the first time in over five years, at 7 p.m. on Feb. 11, inside the Sheldon Kennedy Centre of Excellence.
Originally started up by former local radio host Mike Thibeau in 2018, it had to take a hiatus; but Thibeau is optimistic the second rendition will be much more enduring.
“There were times [before, when] we would sit and listen to guys’ stories, which puts a new perspective on things,” says Thibeau. “You’re going through some stuff, but all of a sudden, you hear this guy’s story, and it’s incredible [because] it helps shift some things in your mind. When you’re connecting with these other guys, you see it’s not just you going through this.”
