" Thomas Why are you so passionate
about this subject?"
" There was no place for me to go,
when I experienced the effects of the unwanted abuse. I
didn't want others to experience this type of pain alone. I
wanted to create a safe place where men could share their abuse
experiences without the fear of being ridiiculed, condemned or made
to feel less manly because the abuse. I wanted to create
a place where each participants knows from the moment he walks in
the door that everyone has a story to share and therefore can
readily relate to him. I wanted a place were men could learn
about real masculinity ithat comes from character and being
authentic. I wanted a place were men could feel comfortable and
accepted as they shared and expressed the emotions associated with
their abuse without shame. I wanted to create a workshop
where each individual knows that they are loved, accepted, belong
and have strategies for addressing some the issues. I wanted to
create a place for men who are really ready to start healing, no
more excuses but action.

One of our
Goals: To educate faith communities concerning
resources and ways to approach and assist male survivors of
childhood sexual abuse and those who love them. So these men
of faith can be who they have been called to be. Let's start
helping the hurting, instead of condemining them.
