Upcoming Events:
Adult Male Survivors:
Understanding the Issues
A
Two Day Workshop
For Helping Professionals
Next Workshop:
May 4 & 5, 2007
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE
This two-day program is designed for a variety of helping
professionals. It is aimed at those who do not
specialize in working with adult male survivors but who have
encountered or who expect to encounter adult males with
sexual abuse in their backgrounds. The two-day format will
provide participants with an understanding of the special
issues of males who were sexually abused as children or
sexually assaulted as adults. It will equip them, not to
work in depth with male survivors, but rather to provide
initial support that is informed, empowering and sensitive
as well as to make referrals as appropriate.
This workshop will be of interest to family support workers,
crisis workers, social workers, therapists, educators,
counsellors, mental health workers and corrections
personnel.
