Four men (Chris, Mike, Milan, Mubarak) will share their experiences following the death of, or separation/divorce from, their partner. We welcome other men to attend this session to listen to experiences of others and if you feel comfortable, share your experiences.There will be an extra half hour 12.30 to 1pm to explore whether there is interest in further activities on this theme.
