Home: Workers: Working with Teenagers & Adults: Working with young males

In this article I have portrayed the way I work with and understand young male survivors of sexual assault. I hope that I have conveyed how complex and challenging this work is, and yet how incredibly rewarding it is to see young male survivors grow and develop healthier ways to live with the knowledge and effects of their abuse. It feels important for me to say that it is much easier to write about this work than it is to actually practice it. This is the part where I often find myself swimming, forgetting what to do, and only remembering afterwards what might have been helpful.
