Running on Empty- Canadian Men's Health Foundation

Monday evening workshop administered by Canadian Men's Health Foundation

Description

Running on Empty is an 8-week Monday evening workshop built for men in the trades who are exhausted, stretched thin, and running on nothing — but aren’t about to walk into a therapist’s office.

It’s a small group — maximum 8 guys — that meets once a week online to build real, practical skills around energy, sleep, recovery, and stress.

You’ll get a workbook. A consistent structure every week. And a group of tradesmen dealing with the same thing.

What you walk away with:

  • A clearer picture of what’s draining you
  • Practical tools that work in real life
  • A personal plan so you see it coming next time

How it works: If more than 8 guys express interest, spots are selected by draw. Everyone who doesn’t get in this round goes to the top of the list for the next cohort.$99 for the full 8 weeks — pilot rate, normally $320. If money is an issue for you right now, don’t worry, we’ve got you – send a message to info@menshealthfoundation.ca, and we’ll sort you out.
