Man Enough to Heal

Men Share Their Journeys of Healing and Hope

When we think about childhood sexual abuse (CSA), we often fall into a rigid binary of who causes harm and who is harmed. This limited view deepens the pain that men, trans, and non-binary individuals have already experienced. The truth is: men can be survivors too.

“According to the 2014 GSS [General Social Survey], in that year, the majority (83%) of sexual assaults were not reported to police. Only five percent of sexual assaults were reported. In three studies completed by Justice Canada with survivors of sexual assault, over two-thirds of those in the male sample (68%) (2019, Government of Canada)”

Join us for a powerful all-male panel discussion on male survivors of childhood sexual abuse (CSA). This event will shed light on the experiences of male survivors and challenge the myths that surround them. Held in an intimate café setting, the evening will offer space for storytelling, connection, and community.
