MALE SURVIVORS HELPING MALE SURVIVORS

If you know six men…one of them has likely experienced sexual abuse in his lifetime. Historically, men and boys have not shared feelings and emotions as honestly or freely as women in our society. Whether this hesitancy to discuss how we feel is due to childhood family and cultural dynamics, or what we may see as society’s expectation of us as males, the results are the same.

 

When childhood sexual abuse is added to this equation, we become experts at keeping secrets. Because of this general lack of willingness to be perceived as weak, or somehow less than a man, we’ve also failed to ask for what we need. We’ve failed to take care of ourselves, and as a result, mental health resources for male survivors are hard to find. If they’re out there, we have to search and dig and root them out.

I DON’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT!

WE HAVEN’T BEEN HONEST.

WE HAVEN’T BEEN TRUE TO OURSELVES.

WE’VE HELD OUR FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS INSIDE…

AND IT’S KILLING US.

 

As a nonprofit organization, WE HELP GUYS! We strive to help men find the resources they need when they need them. HERE’S HOW WE HELP:

  • Public outreach, education, awareness campaigns and events centered around male survivors and men’s mental health issues

  • Find, organize, and promote existing mental health resources for male survivors and list them on our website

  • Create and support male survivor support groups - online and in person

  • Provide scholarships for men to attend national conferences and other events if they are financially struggling

  • Collaborate with other organizations to help provide the most comprehensive list of resources available for male survivors
