Mission Statement
To provide psychological and practical support to all men ,sixteen years and older, who suffer from the effects of childhood and adult trauma/abuse in order to facilitate their emotional healing.
Programs & Services:
- Victim Services: Workers are here to offer you short-term emotional support and can give you information about reporting your abuse/assault to the police if you want to.
- Individual/Group therapy with registered clinical counsellors
- Outreach and Education: We reach out to the community by providing education, awareness raising and promoting the work of the Men’s Trauma Centre in the community.
Programs & Services:
- Assisting other agencies, through educational outreach, to improve their responses to their own male clients who may also be survivors of trauma
- Crime Reduction Pilot: Criminal behaviour has been linked to the experience of abuse and trauma in childhood. Our clinic is looking at this connection and how trauma therapy/counselling may help to reduce further crime and involvement in the criminal justice system among young men aged 16-25.
- Professional Training: one day professional development training for staff in other agencies about understanding the impact of childhood sexual abuse on men.
