Course Aims
The course will aim to provide delegates with an insight and working knowledge of the issue of sexual abuse of boys and men; whilst increasing individuals confidence in talking about the issue and developing strategies that will aid the male survivor in his healing journey.
Participants are presented with a number of real life case studies from individual males that have given expressed permission to be identified and have their experiences used for the purposes of increasing awareness and promoting services.
The interactive workshop uses lived experience, film and debate to help participants widen their thinking and reflect on not only their practice.
