An Intersectional Guide for Male Survivors of Sexual Abuse and their Allies: Masculinity Re-connected* 

​​

In this new book we will explore how men's experiences of sexual abuse are not all the same. Age and circumstances as well as culture, environment and identity will all play a part in a man's ability to heal from abuse. ​

​

The book follows the template of my male sexual abuse recovery groups, highlighting the most prevalent themes men face in their recovery. It will share testimonies from survivors, coping strategies and thoughtful activities. The book takes a transformational justice approach and seeks to offer alternatives to moving on with our lives beyond abuse, that does not rely on a criminal justice system that often fails survivors of all backgrounds genders and identities. 

​

The book is aimed at male survivors and their allies, be that loved ones, friends, social workers or psychotherapists. It is due out Spring / early Summer 2025.
