You don’t have to walk this road alone. The Men’s Resource Center is here to help you understand, manage, and overcome your stress, anxiety, and anger. From self-help resources to peer support and professional referrals, we’ve got everything you need to take control of your mental health.

​

​1. Self-Check Tools: Know Where You Stand

• Wellness Surveys: Regular surveys to track your progress and check in on your mental and emotional state, helping you stay on top of your game.

2. DIY Resources: Take Control of Your Journey

• Roadmaps and Checklists: Step-by-step plans to guide you through your emotional regulation journey. Set goals, track your progress, and measure your success.

• Action Plans: A tailored approach to get you from where you are to where you want to be—mentally, emotionally, and physically.

4. Mindfulness and Meditation Tools: Master Your Mind

• Mindfulness Practices: Learn to be present in the moment with simple techniques that help clear your mind and stop the endless loops of negative thought.

• Guided Meditations: Apps like Calm and Headspace, plus other resources to help you quiet your mind and regain focus.

• Breathing Techniques: Learn breathing exercises (like Box Breathing and 4-7-8) that calm your nervous system and clear your head when life gets overwhelming.

5. Physical Activities: Get Moving, Feel Better

• Exercise Programs: Simple but powerful activities like walking, running, or weightlifting to release stress and boost your mood.

• Punching Bag Workouts: Sometimes, you need to punch something. Release anger or frustration safely with a punching bag workout that helps you physically work through your emotions.

6. Behavioral and Cognitive Tools: Strengthen Your Mindset

• Cognitive Restructuring: Learn how to challenge and reframe negative thoughts. Break the cycle of rumination and take back control.

• Grounding Techniques: Practical strategies (like the 5-4-3-2-1 method) to help you stay present and stop yourself from spiraling into stress and anxiety.

7. Expressive Modalities: Get it Out

• Journaling: Write down your thoughts and emotions to release what's inside. It’s one of the easiest ways to clear your mind and process your feelings.

• Music Therapy: Find the right track to fit your mood—whether it's something calming or something that gets you hyped up.

8. Social Support: Lean on the Brotherhood

• Support Groups: Join groups of men who are facing the same struggles. You’ll find strength in shared experiences and support in moments of difficulty.

• Talk It Out: Sometimes, the best way to manage stress is by talking it through with someone who gets it—someone who’s been there too.

9. Anger Management: Control the Beast

• Recognize Your Triggers: Learn to identify what sets you off. Sometimes, it’s a slow burn; sometimes, it's a red-hot explosion. Understanding the "why" behind your anger is the first step in taking control.

• Tools to Stop the Rage: Whether it’s a count-to-10 technique, physical exercises, or talking through your feelings, we give you concrete strategies to cool your jets before you lose control.

• Anger Management Programs: Structured programs designed to give you real-world strategies to control your temper and channel your energy in a positive direction. Learn how to diffuse anger before it turns into something you'll regret.

• Emotional Awareness: Know when you’re getting angry. Recognize the signs before it takes over, and you can make a choice—not let it take you down the wrong path.

10. Therapy and Professional Support: Get Expert Help

• Referrals to Therapy and Mental Health Professionals: We don’t provide therapy directly, but we can connect you with qualified professionals who can help you with deeper issues like trauma, anxiety, or depression. We’ll give you the referral you need to get the right support.
