Break the silence on male abuse
While our society struggles to acknowledge and address sexual abuse/treatment in general, discussion of male survivors is even more limited. The result of media, news, and political/community leaders avoiding discussion of male sexual abuse is a feeling of isolation for survivors, setting the stage for symptoms of depression, anxiety, and trauma. For the survivors who do seek treatment, supports in the form of specialized therapy, groups, and community resources are few and far between. At Morningrise Wellness, we provide a knowledgable and safe space to help survivors feel open, discuss, and learn more about the experience of being a survivor.
