When I began volunteering for the Anti-Violence Project in the fall of 1989, I had no idea it would be a catalyst to identifying myself as a survivor and initiating the past several years of investigation, recovery, and growth. The wisdom, strength and courage of countless survivors and supporters I've met and worked with throughout this time make it possible for me to do this today. I hope to share my knowledge in the same spirit of community.

Feminist Men's Groups

The following groups are not listed here as resources for male survivors. These are groups organized by men to address violence by men - battering, rape/sexual assault or sexual abuse - through public education efforts or by providing counseling to male offenders as a means of intervention and prevention. I want to list these separately from male survivors' resources. When I get more listings I'll move these to their own page.

• Men for Change based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
• Men Overcoming Violence (MOVE) based in San Francisco
  (2001.10.01: Corrected link.)
• Men Stopping Rape in Madison, Wisconsin also has support groups for male survivors of rape, incest, or childhood sexual abuse.
