Counselling Groups

Healing From Within

A six-week support group for adult male survivors of sexual harm.  That harm can be historical (i.e. experienced during childhood) or recent. Sessions are once a week for two hours each.  Due to the nature of the group, we ask that all participants commit to attending each of the sessions.  This program was previously delivered through the John Howard Society.
