MENTAL HEALTH AND EATING DISORDERS SERVICE FOR MEN
Na'layn is a noun from the Arabic language meaning, a pair, of shoes or sandals. The concept was coined by the founder to symbolise the 'first step' or stages. An active step towards acceptance is a step closer to treatment or recovery by means of reaching out for help.
NALAYN is a specialist eating disorders and mental health service for men. NALAYN wanted to create an environment sensitive to the presence of men in an otherwise female-dominated space.
NALAYN took into consideration the difficult challenges of accessing support and treatment that is free from judgement, discrimination and prejudice. NALAYN is focused on achieving a service that is highly supportive of treatment options that facilitate inclusion, diversity and equality, a necessity for long-term stability, recovery, relapse prevention, harm minimisation and of the rising prevalence of diseases, mental health illnesses and suicide amongst the male population nationally or internationally.
To ensure the long-term success of our clients and establishment of a male only treatment facility, we understand the process requires patience, time and evidence based research in an area that lacks explicit guidelines surrounding male-only treatment spaces.
Is mental health different to how men may experience mental decline compared to women? Research suggests that whilst gender stereotypes exist such as being 'thick skinned, strong, dominant, in-control, breadwinners' they are still 'damaging' in preventing men to be able to reach out.
Whilst men are more likely to turn towards more damaging coping strategies than women, such as drugs and alcohol. Some characteristics of ill mental health may present differently within their individual behavior's, through developmental or major life stages.
We can only use relevant evidence base statistics according to what is reported and made available, however the true scale of the presenting problem's may not be addressed as many cases go unreported.

We understand the complexities of reaching out and asking for help and how difficult that can be for some.
Rest assured, you might wonder, 'How long does it take to recover?' Their is no way to quantify the length of time it may take someone to recover, because recovery is different for everyone.
We offer a person centered approach in everything that we do and address issues that are preventing men from accessing the services they need. This might involve challenging gender discrimination or stereotypes, raising awareness and offering education, listening to your individual experiences and what barriers you faced to overcome those.
We offer a range of complementary therapies, around the clock care and have the opportunity to speak to staff with lived experiences.
Accessing treatment for management and recovery can look differently for everyone, for some it can take weeks or months, whilst for others it may take years. Whilst some may experience mild challenges, for more severe psychiatric disorders, people can experience lifelong obstacles that take years of treatment.
Here at ©NALAYN you can take advantage of motivational support from peers, learn new essential life skills and heaps loads of more confidence and resources that provide long lasting benefits.
