Description:
The Living Well App is specifically designed to assist men who have been sexually abused in childhood. The Living Well Website is a fantastic resource that can help people of all genders overcome a variety of different mental health challenges.
Importantly, if you are a man who has been sexually abused in childhood or assaulted as an adult, or are a partner, family member or friend, know that information and support to live well is available through the Living Well App and Website. We understand that men and their supporters can face some unique pressures and challenges.
We know that childhood sexual abuse can have a profound impact on men’s lives and relationships. However, we also know that men who have been sexually abused can live rich, full lives, develop healthy relationships and make positive contributions within our communities. Therefore, the website focuses on ways to stay well as well as ways to get well.
The Living Well App is designed to complement, not replace, the work of a qualified health care professional. Provided in the App are practical resources and suggestions that men who have been sexually abused can make use of. The information and resources draw upon researched evidence and practice knowledge to offer suggestions that can enhance well-being and help better manage difficulties.
The App too is designed to be useful for partners, family members, friends and health care professionals – for anyone looking to enhance their understanding and personal well-being.
