Safe room is an online talking space for men who have experienced childhood sexual abuse and rape. We don't just talk about our experiences as survivors. Sometimes it just helps to chat to others who understand. Get in touch with Support to get involved. Today is GROUP D

At least 1 in 6 men have experienced sexual assault or sexual violence. It is just as important to end the stigma of sexual abuse against male survivors and encourage them to seek help to address their trauma

Today heralds the start of #MensHealthWeek - as the focus this year is on #mentalhealth why not check out @LightonMh? Dorset’s new campaign for building #wellbeing together. Specifically aimed at men, challenging stigma & making talking about #mh normal. lightonmh.uk

Today marks the start of #MensHealthWeek. Even without #COVID19 restrictions, many men feel unable to speak about their #mentalhealth. If you are struggling, #ItsOkayToTalk. Get mental health support and advice: ▶️ nhs.uk/mental-health/nhs-vol…

'Why didn't I fight back....?' #CSA can make survivors blame themselves. Understanding how our brains have evolved to respond to danger can help survivors acknowledge the abuse was not their fault. With #CSA our 'fight or flight' response doesn't operate the same way...
