18 GHP Social Care Awards 2024 Feb24402 It’s an unfortunate truth that, in a world that’s become so centered around recognising the impact of mental health struggles, men are often times overlooked in the discussion. As a result, many men are left feeling as though they aren’t able to speak up – that they need to simply ‘man up’ and ‘tough it out’. Looking to eliminate this mindset altogether is Pegasus – Men’s Wellbeing Centre. Standing as a beacon of hope and support for all men that require it, Pegasus is playing an active part in encouraging clients to explore their mental health, while equipping them with the tools to break free from the confines of society’s stereotypical view of masculinity. Specialising in providing essential, low-cost, and trauma-informed counselling and psychotherapy services to men in and around the Cornwall area, Pegasus – Men’s Wellbeing Centre has become a guiding light for any men who have lost their way in their journey to assessing their mental health struggles. Often viewed as the ones who need to tackle any issue with a stone face and an unshakable resolve, men find themselves falling into vicious cycles that ultimately prevent them from seeking help. Through a stereotypical lens, men should be the ones that never cry, display emotion, or struggle, regardless of their circumstances. It’s an unfair chain that dates back centuries – one that Pegasus is well on the way toward breaking for good. In essence, Pegasus offers men a safe space within which they can find solutions to their problems with the help of skilled counsellors, each empowered by the same mission – to help men express their emotions and overcome life’s challenges, while reminding them that it’s okay to ask for help and support wherever it’s needed. In an age of acceptance, it seems as though the limit ends with stereotypical masculinity, but Pegasus believes that we can only achieve full acceptance once we honour every person, regardless of gender identity. No person should feel pressured into bottling up their emotions, but it’s been proven time and time again that the male population is the one that falls victim to this expectation more than most. As such, Pegasus has integrated itself into various communities, and leverages its adaptability to remain fluent in the language of selfexpression. In doing so, it has cultivated an approach that doesn’t simply recognises the mental health needs of men across the region, but actively looks to continuously develop approaches that truly help. Having displayed such persistent dedication, Pegasus has become a trustworthy companion that, no matter the client, goes above and beyond to create a roadmap that encourages men to let their emotions flow through them in a healthy and manageable way. It’s this continuous compassionate engagement that truly defines Pegasus, granting all men peace of mind that their mental health struggles matter, and will be handled with the utmost grace. Partnered with a rigorous feedback process that aims to empower the best parts of the process, while simultaneously accepting and adapting to any areas of improvement, Pegasus has developed a solid framework upon which any client can lean in their time of need. Fundamentally, Pegasus recognises that the input of men regarding its practises is just as important as its input in their mental wellbeing, and has crafted a distinct balance that benefits each and every party. Put simply, Pegasus has cultivated a steadfast approach to helping men across the region, with its attitude toward acceptance shining as a guiding light to any men in need of support and comfort. For this reason, we are exceptionally proud to present Pegasus with this recent accolade. As a collective incredibly passionate about raising mental health awareness ourselves, it’s always wonderful to highlight those who are reshaping the world as we know it. Thanks to Pegasus, men finally have the chance to overcome their mental health struggles, without having to do so alone. Though it may just be the first step, we’re certain that Pegasus – Men’s Wellbeing Centre has marked a definitive shift in the world of counselling and psychotherapy.
