Two of the region’s leading charities working with gay, bisexual and men who have sex with men - MSM at The Brunswick Centre and Yorkshire MESMAC - are working together to ensure that men across the whole of West Yorkshire have access to free, flexible and professional counselling service.
John McKernagahan, Manager of The Brunswick Centre said, ‘We are delighted that by working closely with our friends at Yorkshire MESMAC we are now able to offer a high quality counselling service to men in Calderdale and Kirklees. This is a great example of the voluntary sector working in partnership to bring benefits to our communities in Calderdale and Kirklees.’
The free counselling service, run by Yorkshire MESMAC in a variety of settings across the rest of North and West Yorkshire, is one of the biggest of its kind in the country, with 44 approved counsellors, offering many approaches including couple and psychosexual counselling. The service is also able to offer counselling in a variety of languages including French, German, Spanish, Italian, Mandarin Chinese, Farsi and BSL!
Tom Doyle from Yorkshire MESMAC explained: ‘In terms of its scope, professionalism, choice and access Yorkshire MESMAC’s counselling service is recognised as a leader in its field... We are delighted to be invited to work with MSM at The Brunswick Centre which allows us to offer this service to local men.’
As part of the service’s development, they’re is keen to recruit qualified freelance counsellors, especially gay men, practising in the Kirklees and Calderdale area. As well as being qualified to diploma level or above you’ll have to undertake Yorkshire MESMAC induction and training.
