Men's talking groups and social organizations provide a low-pressure entry point for those not yet ready for one-on-one therapy. Groups like Dad La Soul, founded by Dan Flanagan, and Men's Sheds focus on shared activities like DJing or building projects to foster organic connection. These environments help normalize vulnerability by allowing men to bond through productivity and camaraderie in outdoor or social settings.

Dad La Soul, led by Dan Flanagan, is recognized for organizing online playdates and parties that were essential for fathers during the lockdown. The organization is known for its "Block Party" events in Brighton. A breakout session featuring the Dad La Soul crew is being planned for the upcoming Launchpad Summit.
