Therapeutic Support Groups

Discovering you are not alone

Many men who have suffered sexual abuse will keep it a secret from everyone, including those closest to them. Often this secret will be kept for many years or decades. In this context, it's easy to understand why feelings of isolation and alienation are so common amongst the people who come to us.

Joining one of our groups has helped many men to overcome their feelings of alienation. Hearing others talk about their experiences, and both the giving and receiving of support can often be a real turning point. The realisation that you're not alone and that others have been through what you have been through is for many men an important landmark in coming to terms with the sexual abuse they have suffered.

If you are interested in joining a group, please phone the Survivors UK National Helpline on 0845 122 1201 (opens Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays 7pm - 10pm).

The Survivors UK support group is only available in the London area, but if you live elsewhere, please do still call - we'll do everything we can to find a similar support group in your area.
