Male Survivor Group
Too often men who are abused feel disconnected from themselves and the people around them. Gender expectations can interfere with men seeking help and receiving the support they deserve. This 10 week structured group is intended for male survivors at all stages of the healing journey. It will provide education about sexual and physical abuse and how current behaviors often are linked to past abuse. We believe in the power of communities to heal. Group therapy offers community, creating something unique and complementary to individual therapy. In group, stories and voices are shared, validated and appreciated.

Male Suriviors of Chlidhood Sexual Abuse Group
Too often men who are abused feel disconnected from themselves and the people around them. Gender expectations can interfere with men seeking help and receiving the support they deserve. This group will provide education about sexual and physical abuse and how current behaviors often are linked to past abuse. We will help survivors reframe many current symptoms and behaviors as real attempts to cope with past trauma, supporting the establishment of healthy coping skills. In a safe environment, participants can address the feelings of shame, isolation and stigmatization which are sometimes amplified for males coping with the impact of abuse.
