Stopping the Stigma:
A Workshop for Male-Identified Survivors of Sexual Trauma

YWCA Metropolitan Chicago recognizes that there are specific barriers and challenges that adult male-identified survivors face in the process of healing from sexual abuse/assault. As a result, male-identified survivors often remain silent about their experiences of sexual trauma due to shame and stigma. In this two-session workshop, participants will:

• Connect with other adult male-identified survivors in a
  safe, confidential space
• Discuss the impacts of sexual trauma that are specific to male-identified survivors
• Explore how gender roles and rape culture effect male-identified survivors
• Develop coping skills and self-care techniques

Participation in both workshop sessions is encouraged but not required.

If you are interested in attending, please contact:
Lindsey Koenig at 312.762.2731

*This group is open to any male-identified survivors, including transgender and cisgender men. Men of all sexual orientations are welcome.
