Join us as we talk about how males can also be survivors/victims of Sexual Assault/Abuse.

Men may feel the need to be silent about their abuse because of the internalized belief that men can’t be victims, or that men should not express weakness.

As a community we must come together to advocate for male survivors/victims of Sexual Abuse/Assault.

If you or someone you know is going

through any type of abuse, you are not alone. Our Advocates are here to help.

Join us as we sit down and talk about the cycle of violence. The cycle of violence is a tool developed by researcher Lenore Walker. Walker created this tool to describe the cyclical nature of battering and its effect on victims.

There are three phases in the cycle of violence: (1) Tension-Building Phase, (2) Acute or Crisis Phase, and (3) Calm or Honeymoon Phase. Without intervention, the frequency and severity of the abuse tends to increase over time. This cycle makes it difficult to break free from an abusive partner.
