Happytohealthyou have been commissioned by 1in6.org to work on ‘The Way Through’ Campaign. The aim is to raise awareness of this fantastic organisation who offer support and advice to men who have had unwanted sexual experiences. John Ryan has been meeting with survivors who have shared their stories. ‘I have no lived experience of anything like this’ said John ‘The Testimonies are just heartbreaking’. The challenge for the team here at H2HU is to write and deliver material that is sensitive, empathetic and meaningful.
Natasha feels that Men need to feel safe and empowered by any input we have into the project. ‘Your voices are so important in raising awareness. we need to encourage men to engage in conversations”.
It’s not always easy to know what to say when someone tells you they’ve been sexually assaulted, especially if they are a friend or family member. For a survivor, disclosing to someone they care about can be very difficult, so we encourage you to be as supportive and non-judgemental as possible.
We urge anyone who has had any unwanted sexual experiences, or if you have been approached by someone and want to be an ally to get in touch with 1in6.uk. In the meantime watch this space for updates on how the programme develops.
