Stepping Stones
Stepping Stones is MAIN's personal development programme, designed by and run for men. It aims to help men build their confidence and communication skills and can be run in any location where a group can be established.
What men say:
"The course certainly helped me express myself better and that gave me more confidence. Outside of this course I would've bottled up my issues and felt awkward talking about them - but not now."
"The company of the other men is great and I look forward to seeing them."
"I had hoped to make new friends from this and I did."
"I felt my confidence getting better as we debated issues."
"I would love to have this course twice a week 'cause I miss it after I leave. I love the 'honest' company and the warmth - its fabulous."
"I usually go to my brother's house for Christmas Dinner. Being single, I've always felt like a burden. But now, I'm actually looking forward to being there with him and his family because I have more confidence in myself."
"The 'Tree of Life' worked really well for me. The approach surprised me. The presentation was really excellent."
"Without the course, I'd normally 'bottle-up' any questions I'd have and feel awkward talking about my problems. But now I feel as if each time I ask questions I get more confident."
