Zero Abuse Project’s SurvivorSpace program is hosting a free panel discussion series for survivors this week. If you’ve ever been curious about becoming an advocate, writing a memoir, becoming a public speaker, and/or starting your own consulting business, this is for you. Survivors who have done these things will share their insights and tips, including what went right and what they wish someone had told them when they were starting out.

Join us for free at Noon Eastern Monday through Thursday this week. Register for one or all of the panel discussions here: https://survivorspace.org/purposeful-pathways/

Can’t join us live? Recordings will be available next week.

The stories from June's additions to The Bristlecone Project center on friends or acquaintances of the family who took advantage of the trust they were implicitly given, and the survivors who grappled with feelings of guilt, self-harm, s*xual confusion, and anger in the aftermath of their abuse to ultimately empower themselves by sharing their experience and inspiring others to speak out.

They’re just words typed on a screen. No camera. No audio. No full names. But in reality, they are more than “just words.” They are the outpouring of support among fellow men who have survived abuse.

Our Online Support Group is here for you. It’s chat-based, it’s anonymous, it’s free, and it’s available each weekday - no registration, no long-term commitment. Just men who have survived abuse, supporting each other without judgment.

Al Washington, age 67, former player for Ohio State and the New York Jets: “When you play football, you encounter obstacles, and when I was a Buckeye, I decided not to let what happened to me defeat me, so I kept quiet. But I’ve been living with this a long time, and it’s time to settle this once and for all.”

All say the late Dr. Richard Strauss preyed on them decades ago when they played football for the Buckeyes.

In the May additions to Zero Abuse Project's video library of male survival stories - The Bristlecone Project - we speak to New Zealand-based psychodrama therapist Colin Elliott, and actor, author, and playwright of The Tricky Part, Martin Moran.

They step into the light to speak with us about their experience of abuse at the hands of trusted men in their lives, their struggles with dissociation, addiction, and confusion, and their path to finding their own voice now used to heal others with their work.

1 in 6 men have experienced s*xual trauma at some point in their lives. How many men is that? In the United States alone, based on Census data, that’s nearly 22 million men.

To all 22 million men (and the many millions more beyond the U.S.):

➡️ You are not alone.
➡️ It’s not your fault.
➡️ Shame is not yours to carry.
➡️ You deserve to heal and to be loved.
➡️ Your voice matters.
➡️ YOU MATTER.

Together, we are the 1in6.

Our new April survivor profiles are now available on The Bristlecone Project at www.1in6.org/bristleconeproject featuring the stories of José Rodríguez and Greg Correll.

José recounts his experience immigrating to the USA, being bullied about his s*xuality, and feeling shame after experiencing s*xual molestation by his cousin, before sharing his insights on learning how to cope and grow through the healing power of writing.

Greg discusses his struggles with an abusive childhood, his life as a runaway on the street, and violent s*xual assault while incarcerated, leading him down a long road of healing created by mindfulness, compassion, and becoming a parent.
