Men Becoming Better Men
What is MBBM?
Men Becoming Better Men is for those who want to connect with other men for friendship, inspiration, challenge and encouragement on their quest to be better men!
Primarily, we meet IN PERSON in the Metro Detroit area and VIRTUALLY on Zoom every two weeks, follow a set agenda, and follow a specific set of rules and standards for living and interacting.
Meetings include regular reviews of our standards and codes, short presentations on subjects important for men, and most importantly "breakout" sessions, where each man gets time to discuss openly and without judgement anything he wants to talk about.
The "breakouts" are where we shift to smaller groups and provide ample time for EVERY man to be heard. Do you need a safe place to get life's stresses off your chest? This is the place to do it without judgement or criticism, and then honest feedback to help you determine your next steps.
We help each other tackle challenges from parenting to divorce, managing emotions to communication, and finding purpose or motivation. Our members range in age from mid-20's to late 70's and everywhere in between.
Men are able to learn from each other by sharing their experiences but not "telling" you what to do, we are able to get things off our chests that we can't with our bosses, coworkers or loved ones, we have various social and community events, and enable building of real friendships.
The bottom line is we provide men with a safe place to practice life, to make mistakes and to ask for input that strengthens them and prepares them for the real world, where those same decisions and choices could end up have disastrous effects. We give men have a haven to be themselves, imperfections and all and empower them by taking on this new way of accountability and self-respect.
Our Purpose
To facilitate within each man, the process of locating his personal power, cultivating that power, and becoming the better man he always wanted to be!
Our Promise
I will never again just turn my back and walk away from a man in whose eyes I see pain.
