Male Survivors of Violence
Men often face unique barriers to seeking support after experiencing violence. There may be fear that they will be blamed for their experiences, shamed for not preventing them, or not taken seriously at all. Here at Shelterhouse, we start by believing. Your experiences, no matter how long ago they happened or who perpetrated them, are valid, and you deserve to heal. Male Survivors of Violence, led by two male counselors, is aimed at forming a community of support for those who have been impacted by intimate partner violence. Please call 989-835-6771 or email McDonald@shelterhousemidland.org to join.

Body + Mind Connection
Shelterhouse's Body Mind Connection Program takes a unique approach to treating women’s relational issues: through individual and group therapy for women’s intimacy, Body Mind Connection offers support for women who find themselves held back from deeper intimate connections due to trauma in their past. Sessions in this support group will focus on learning how to understand and honor your authentic self within relationships, deconstructing cultural beliefs about sex, love, and femininity, and developing authentic emotional intimacy.
