Sharing – When Males Have Been Sexually Abused as Children: A Guide for Men

The resources listed are specific to Canada, but I looked at the booklet and I think there is a lot of really useful information for male survivors, or anyone trying to support male survivors.

This booklet is addressed to the thousands of men in Canada who were sexually abused as young children or as teenagers. It is also addressed to the people who help these men face each new day with courage: their partners, friends and families.

Thanks, Canada, for the effort in designing something specific to the many male survivors who often find it a challenge to find anything like this.

  • Sharing – Teen Suicide: What Parents Need to Know

    We have said often that the best prevention we can offer is to simply keep people connected to those around them. When you’re talking about teens, staying connected to them as parents is vital. When it’s a friend, another family member, an adult, a kid, etc. the best thing we can offer is staying connected with them.

    That connection, that knowledge that they are not, in fact, going through this pain alone can make all the difference.

    Why not offer it?
