Research informs us that there is a disparity between the health of men and women in the UK. Men are not accessing GP Surgeries, healthcare services and mental health provisions as much as women are, and it’s certainly not that men are any healthier then their female counterparts!
Like many others, we believe that the pressure society puts on men to behave and act in a certain way, to suppress emotions and not show their true feelings, and to keep that ‘stiff upper lip’ all goes someway to explain this disparity. It simply perpetuates the verbal silence and often silent suffering of men – especially as victims of sexual abuse and rape.
We Are Survivors was established in order to support male survivors of harms in Greater Manchester and beyond, regardless of when or where the abuse took place. In this section, we would like to detail the different types of support available and how you can access our services.
