Support for men and boys

Our Adults services provide specialist support for men and boys over 16 who have experienced any form of rape, sexual abuse or domestic abuse, regardless of when this happened in your life or whether you have reported it or not.

This includes:

  • Up to 24 sessions of 1:1 counselling
  • Independent Domestic and Sexual Violence Advocacy
  • Group therapy
  • Stabilisation Intervention Programme (psychoeducation)
  • Emotional telephone support
  • Advocacy (speaking up for you)

We know that men and boys who have experienced sexual assault, domestic violence or abuse can find it difficult to talk about what has happened.

That’s why we created The SAM Project, to provide a dedicated pathway to accessing support.

Check out The SAM Project website for more information about our services for men and boys.

During your Information, Advice and Guidance session you will receive more information about our services, and we encourage you to let us know if there is anything we can do to make you feel more comfortable accessing our support.

You do not need to have reported anything to the police to speak with us and, within safeguarding limits, everything you tell us will be confidential. You won’t be asked to talk to us about anything you don’t feel ready to share.

The initial contact may be from a female member of staff but we have specialist workers of all genders including male counsellors, group therapists and advocacy workers. You can request support from a person of any sex or gender that feels most comfortable to you.

Sexual and domestic violence happens because of who the abuser is, not who you are.

You are not to blame.

We would like to thank Buckinghamshire Council’s New Burdens Funding Scheme for their vital support and funding that enables us to support our Male survivors of Domestic and Sexual Violence and Abuse.
