Support groups
Men who have finished the first group program can enroll in another support group where sexuality and intimacy are the core subject. This 12 week program aims to allow survivors to better deal with the consequences of the victimization on their sex life. At the end of these meetings, they can aspire to potentially healthier and more harmonious sexuality.
The topics covered are, among other:
- Myths and prejudices surrounding sexual abuse
- Sexual orientation
- Masculinity and masculine identity
- Intimacy and relationships.
Participants who have completed at least one series of meetings are invited to continue to meet during meetings called “coeur à coeur”.
SHASE offers a friendly meeting place where men can discuss a multitude of topics. Meetings take place on average every 3 weeks, in the presence of two counselors who ensure the smooth running of the meeting and sometimes address specific topics.
