Men's circles and groups, often called men's support groups, I-Groups, or peer-led gatherings, provide spaces for men to connect, share vulnerabilities, and address personal growth amid societal pressures like emotional isolation. These emerged from indigenous traditions, the men's movement of the 1970s-80s, and modern wellness trends, with roots in organizations like the ManKind Project (MKP). They typically involve 6-15 men in confidential, non-judgmental settings, focusing on themes like relationships, health, emotions, work, and fatherhood. While formats vary (e.g., weekly check-ins, rituals, or topic-driven discussions), research shows they reduce isolation, boost wellbeing, and improve interpersonal skills.
