Peer Support for Sexual Abuse

Picture
Do You Need Men and Trauma's Peer Support Service for Sexual Abuse ?
Do you think you may be a survivor of sexual abuse? At least 1 in 6 Kiwi males are. This includes both boys and men.

Men and Trauma's Peer Support Service is run for survivors - by survivors.

​If you have experienced sexual abuse as a male, you may recognise some or all of the following traits in your own life:
  • Shame and guilt that you think you allowed this to happen to yourself
  • Feelings that your masculinity has been robbed or destroyed
  • Lack of trust in anyone
  • ​Angry, violent or abusive behaviour​
  • Self-harming thoughts and behaviours
  • A crippling fear of exposing the abuse to anyone
  • Self-medication with alcohol and/or drugs
  • Depression, anxiety and panic attacks
  • Problems with addiction to sex, gambling or pornography
  • Inability to stop thinking of the abuse
  • Believing that nobody understands you
  • Self-imposed alienation from friends and family
  • Repeated loss of jobs, friends and/or relationships
  • Self-destructive behaviour
  • Feelings of isolation and loneliness; not wanting to leave the house.​

​All Peer Support Workers are fully trained and Certified.

​This group is for those who have experienced this to have a place to talk about their situation in complete privacy. You can choose to be in a group of mixed gender if you prefer.

You may choose whether to attend in person, or on-line; such as zoom etc.

All groups, whether in person or online, have two trained co-facilitators.
