This weekend workshop is for non-offending adult male survivors of sexual child abuse, rape, physical violence, emotional abuse, abandonment and/or neglect. Our goal is to offer a recovery experience in a safe, encouraging, powerful environment of shared healing. The weekend will provide a variety of healing activities: sharing of stories, writing exercises, anger work, other emotional expression, group discussion, shared creativity, relaxation and even fun in a safe, nurturing environment.
This event for men actively engaged in recovery work is not a substitute for therapy. A letter of recommendation from a therapist must be sent in to secure one's registration. Registration deadline is June 28, 2002.
Led by Mike Lew, M.Ed., a counselor in private practice in Brookline, MA., author of Leaping Upon the Mountains: Men Proclaiming Victory Over Sexual Child Abuse and Victims No Longer: men Recovering from Incest and Other Sexual Child Abuse. If registration numbers permit, Thom Harrigan, LICSW will co-lead. Thom facilitates the male survivor groups at the Next Step Counseling Center and is an expert on recovery from sexual abuse by clergy.
COST: $295
