Where are these "men's groups" you speak of? As a "man," I've not heard of any, at least none that aren't inherently linked to toxic masc MAN-man personality traits.
They exist. There's a local group that meets up for a walk once a week and anyone's welcome.
If there's not one near you? Then be the change you want to see.
For me, men’s groups have been a way to not shoot myself in the head. That’s the key thing in this context. If you’d like to know more, google it.
Obviously stay away from the ones that encourage people to be toxic. That kind of group isn’t helpful.
