The Chestnut Appeal currently runs a monthly support group that takes place in Crownhill in Plymouth. The plan going forward is to expand this into Cornwall and the wide Devon area so that men can talk to other men that have already experienced the journey.
These groups might not be for everyone, but they have become a vital part of the coping mechanism for those that need support. You can read the books or talk to as many consultants as you like, but sometimes, you just get that little bit more from other people that have trodden the same path. It’s about experience.
