Guy Questions (Killfrågor.se)*

Killfrågor.se is a national support chat online, and is run by the organization MEN. We want to empower guys to seek support, talk about emotions and think and act more equally. We listen to stories, and talk about things that affect the lives of guys in different ways. By having safe rooms where guys can talk and seek support, we want to prevent violence, and ill-health in themselves. It is not uncommon to feel ill from time to time and then have to seek support in their surroundings. Admitting to yourself that you are feeling ill is often a first step to feeling better. There is always help in getting whatever problems you have and to what extent you feel bad. We are open Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday between 7pm and 9pm.
