Grup pria
The aim of the men's group activity is to gather people across the country into small peer groups to discuss issues of being male and using one another as a mirror to find material for personal growth.. Experience based on several years of development and background work shows that male group activities can also serve as important preventive operational models in health care and socio-political. In these groups, Finnish men, who traditionally hide their problems, can find new courage and confidence to be accepted as men with all male problems and uncertainty. It will also lower the threshold to seek support and treatment so that assistance will be sought before the crisis or illness has progressed to a less treatable stage. On the other hand, men's groups will offer support in everyday problems and small issues as well. This will prevent the buildup of things that are not solved.

The basic principle is that customers are willing to work to get rid of violent behavior.
Father Support
The purpose of Isyyden Tueksi - father support activities is to develop and implement and build training and structures to support the father.

Dad's training activities meet the growing demand for increased opportunities for men to participate in early childhood and childbirth education and the fact that modern family training needs to take into account the particular characteristics of the father as an important part of the family entity.
Support for immigrant men
The purpose of Vieraasta Veljeksi - support for male immigrant activities is to uphold the integration of immigrants by creating new forms of association and cooperation between immigrant men and Finnish indigenous men, as well as integrating petahana populations into our changing societies.
