Organization for Male Survivors

[Whisper]

I just came across an organization that offers services to male survivors and I thought some AS members might be interested in it.

@markeslilja Thought of you when I saw this (thank you for posting, @Whisper!) because you mentioned having a tough time finding support for male survivors. Maybe they have some resources to help you find a therapist?

thank you guys so much for this, this is amazing. i’m on the site rn.

[Whisper]

@markeslilja  I hope they are able to help you. If you think it is a good resource, please let the moderators know because they can pin this thread or list the organization somewhere else where AS members can find it when they are looking for resources in the future.

it seems good so far @Whisper, i’m going to attend their meeting tonight and see what it’s like. hopefully they’re cool with trans people.

[Whisper]

That's great. I expect they are. I hope the meeting goes well and continuing to attend them will provide support to you.

can confirm, the organization is supportive of trans men and the meeting went well! everyone i’ve talked to from the organization so far has been very kind. i kinda feel hopeful, thank you for this resource @Whisper and thank you for tagging me @mini.finch! i’m definitely gonna contact the mods about pinning this, there are other users who could benefit from this too

I'm so glad @markeslilja!! That is wonderful news!

[Whisper]

@markeslilja  I'm so happy I stumbled on this organization, that you contacted them immediately, and they are making you feel hopeful. I hope the success of this organization will finally lead to more organizations being created to help male survivors as there is definitely a need for them.

I'm happy to pin it!

I will need the assistance of a male member to pin it in the place most commonly frequented by male members.   I will send @markeslilja a PM on that.  

Additionally, we can move/pin this board into our Public: Resources forum so that any male survivors who may be looking for resources can easily locate it there.   I'll take care of that, now.

Thank you for this!
