Men’s Herpes Support Group

A twice-monthly support group for men navigating herpes stigma.

Herpes can shake your sense of identity, and lower your confidence. This group is a space for men to be together without judgment, just to talk openly, get support, and find aligned ways to move forward through shared experiences and community.

This isn’t therapy (while I am in Yoga Therapy training). It’s more like a locker room in the sense of a brotherhood. The support call serves as your vent session to decompress prior to entering the shared space so we can move with intention to go forward. It’s a somewhat structured, intentional space where men can process their feelings about their diagnosis, share challenges, and offer guidance to each other from a place of accountability and respect. If you’re on the fence and want to know what to expect, here’s some of the men’s content we’ve produced in the past so you have a feel for the facilitator.

Whether you’re struggling to date, navigating self-doubt, or just need to be around other men who get it, this space exists for you.

About the Group

  • Meets: 2nd & 4th Monday of each month

  • Time: 7:30pm Eastern (on Zoom)

  • Donation Required: Pay what you can to support the space

  • Facilitator: Courtney Brame, Founder of SPFPP

Before You Join

  • A 1-on-1 support call is required before being added to the group. This helps ensure readiness and alignment with the group’s tone and purpose.

  • Participation is by donation—this helps sustain and protect the container.

  • This is a yoga-informed space: grounded in presence, structured by mutual respect, and held with nonjudgmental awareness. Think of it like a men’s locker room with accountability. We don’t believe in “safe spaces,” but we do believe in intentional ones.

What You’ll Get

  • Real conversation with other men navigating herpes stigma

  • Tools for processing emotions, shame, and identity

  • A structured container for support, reflection, and growth

  • Space to speak freely without fear of getting cancelled (but expect accountability)

You don’t need to have perfect language. This is where we develop what we have.
