M-Power offers specialist
training to people in the statutory and voluntary sectors who are involved with
the support of male survivors of abuse.
|
| Why
Training? |
Although many
people are aware of abuse, whether child abuse or rape, few have insight and
understanding of the complexity of the issues surrounding this subject. People
who are still being abused, or have suffered some form of abuse at a point in
their lives, however long ago, need appropriate help and support to assist
survival and recovery and to deal with the emotions resulting from this
experience.
|
| Aims
and purpose |
It is the aim of
all training provided to raise awareness and knowledge of abuse and the issues
surrounding it. The types of abuse and the lasting effects a person may
exhibit, such as depression, self-harm, and anxiety, etc may be explored. It is
also intended to provide the course participants with information to aid
victims of abuse to seek appropriate help, support and information. Prevention
of abuse is discussed.
