Men Supporting Men Through Cancer
MENZCHAT is a supportive group for men in the Nelson region who are living with cancer, have experienced cancer in the past, or are supporting a partner or family member through their own cancer journey.
This group is a space to talk openly, listen, and connect with others who understand what it’s like to navigate life with cancer – either personally or as a support person.
What to expect
The group is facilitated by experienced counsellor Tim James, who creates a relaxed and respectful environment where everyone is welcome to share – or simply listen.
After the group session, there’s time to chat informally over a cuppa.
Who it’s for
- Men who have or have had a cancer diagnosis
- Men supporting a partner or family member through cancer
- Any man looking for connection, shared understanding, and a place to talk
Whether you’re just beginning the journey or have been walking it for a while, you’re not alone.
