Male Survivors Canterbury

Our team is here to support you. You are not alone on your journey. Read on to see how we can help.
What we do
Recent research shows that at least 1 in 6 Kiwi males experience sexual abuse. Many, by the time they turn 18.
If you’re a survivor, or the loved one of a survivor, you don’t need to do this alone
Males Survivors Canterbury is here to help you on your unique journey towards healing. Our team is experienced in supporting men dealing with sexual trauma and we speak to hundreds of Cantabrians every year.
1 in 6 men is an astounding figure and most people are amazed at this statistic. The truth is, it’s a minimum benchmark. It’s the least we know to be true. There are quite probably, many kiwi males that never talk about the sexual abuse they have suffered, therefore the actual statistic could be much higher.

How we help you
Peer Support
– We meet with you one on one, with the person meeting you having relevant personal experience.
– We also run weekly support groups, so you have a chance to hear from other men about their experiences and their methods of healing
-The CMC team also offers free and subsidised counselling if you feel that this may be beneficial to you on your journey.
Advocacy for Male Survivors.
– We can talk to you about the ACC process around sexual abuse, telling you what other men found useful.
– We work with you if you wish to engage with other agencies. Sometimes you just need a person to back you up. We advocate for whatever you need.
