We’re building a vital peer support platform, the Vanishing Man 'Can Help' Network, designed to connect men who are struggling with those who’ve been there themselves and truly get it. Using the Vanishing Man personality profiles, we’ll help match individuals who want to talk confidentially with others who share similar experiences, perspectives, and struggles.
We urgently need men to join this network, not as trained counsellors, but as empathetic peers willing to listen, understand, and offer support. If you’re someone who’s come through tough times and would be open to walking alongside another man as he finds his way back, we’ll give you all the guidance and resources you need. Your experience might be exactly what someone else needs to hear.
We are developing an online self-help platform designed specifically for the Vanishing Man who may not yet feel ready to connect in person. Guided by insights from his unique 'VM Personality Diagnostic', this tool introduces him to his empathetic 'Living Profile', a personalised, interactive companion he can engage with at any time. Through this secure space, he can share his thoughts and feelings, keep a private journal, reflect on his journey, and even ask questions. It's a gentle first step toward reframing and resilience, on his own terms, at his own pace.
We are creating a powerful series of short video 'snap-shots' designed to help the 'Vanishing Man' begin reframing his current reality. These accessible, bite-sized teaching videos will offer practical insights and guidance on core themes such as Values, Purpose, Limiting Beliefs, Forgiveness, Resilience, and Hope. Whether he’s feeling stuck, disconnected, or simply seeking a new perspective, each video, available on demand, will serve as a tool to support reflection, shift mindset, and build strength from within.
Transformative, multi-day retreats. Set in a calm and restorative environment, these events will blend peer-led sharing with structured learning on key personal development themes such as 'reframing', exploring fresh perspectives on purpose, work, and relationships. Alongside reflective conversations and guided sessions, we plan to run 'challenges' designed to spark camaraderie and encourage resilience. The Recolouring event will offer a rare space to be seen, heard, and supported.
