individual counselling for men
In April 2011, the Ministry of the Attorney General announced funding for male survivors of sexual abuse. Our Centre, in partnership with Community Justice Initiatives, was successful in this funding application. In September 2011, we received the go-ahead to begin rolling out our individual counselling program for male survivors. Please call our office at 519.571.0121 and request to speak to Sara Jane at extension 26 if you would like to access our free, confidential individual counselling services for men.
