Men Connect for New Mainers

Support for immigrant, refugee, and asylum-seeking men to explore healthy masculinity.

About Men Connect

Moving to a new country brings immense challenges, including navigating new cultural expectations around gender, family, and manhood. Men Connect is a culturally responsive program designed specifically for New Mainers.

In a supportive, judgment-free environment, participants discuss topics like healthy relationships, parenting in a new culture, navigating stress, and redefining strength. Facilitators provide translation support and culturally relevant resources.
