This is the first of a 2-part live Zoom event in honor of Male Survivor Awareness Day 2024
Back in 2022, MenHealing, MaleSurvivor and other groups who help men heal from sexual trauma set aside October 25th each year as Male Survivor Awareness Day to coincide with the month of Octoberās Domestic Violence Awareness Month. While they planned their own annual events, Polar Life Consulting and Husband Material have honored this day by hosting their own faith-friendly event each year. This year we came up with a theme: āHealingā:
How can/do survivors find healing?
What has worked and what has not worked?
What healing options are available?
What can non-survivors do to help survivors heal?
How does one find a therapist?
The goal for this event (and the āDayā in total) was to help non-survivors understand and work with survivors to help support them on their healing journeys. A 2nd goal of our specific event was to help people understand better the concept of healing and what survivors can do to help find healing and how non-survivors can help. Due to the length, I am dividing it into 2 audio podcast episodes, Video episode is also available on my YouTube channel.
