Our mutual support group
for partners, family members and friends
We now have a mutual support group for non-offending partners, friends and family members of men who have been sexually abused in childhood. It was started in September 2023 by two partners of survivors.
Living with a man who is coming to terms with being sexually abused in childhood can be tough at times. Many men don't begin to process the trauma of what happened until a life event triggers memories that they have buried long ago. It can feel lonely in a relationship with an adult survivor and there is little or no help for partners or families.
We are here to support each other and gain some understanding of what the men in our lives are going through and how we can support them. But most of all, to share our experiences and look after ourselves.
Our group is small, friendly, and confidential.
We usually meet on the first Saturday of the month in Exeter, to talk and share cake. For more information or to join us, contact info@momentumdevon.org.uk
