Take the next step. You don’t have to face this alone.
Across Canada, many men face challenges such as stress, relationship difficulties, or low mood. Research shows that men are less likely to seek professional support and often delay reaching out. Factors like stigma, social expectations, and limited access to services can make taking that first step feel daunting.
To help overcome these barriers, the Government of Ontario, in partnership with 211, Family Service Ontario, and community agencies, created the Men’s Counselling Link — a free program designed to make counselling more accessible, practical, and tailored to men’s experiences.
In partnership with Ontario 211’s Men’s Helpline, Resolve offers men immediate support, counselling, and referrals to community resources.
Common concerns addressed:
Men’s counselling supports a wide range of concerns, including:
- Workplace stress or burnout
- Relationship or family conflict
- Life transitions such as becoming a parent, separation, or retirement
- Feelings of isolation or low mood
- Difficulty expressing emotions
- Challenges with self-care, sleep or substance us
- Feel overwhelmed by stress, anger, or family pressures
- Want to improve their relationships or break harmful patterns
- Are concerned about conflict at home, or emotional control
- Are unsure where to turn but want to make a positive change
Our counsellors work with you to understand what’s happening now and to develop practical steps to manage or improve your situation.
