title: Setting up a male support group to meet the needs of men who are informal carers.
abstract: Many support groups and resources for informal carers are geared towards meeting women's needs. However, a growing number of men are carers--with nearly half now male--and their support needs are neither recognised nor met. This article outlines the process of setting up and running a support group for male carers.
