Welcome to Living Well

Living Well is a web resource designed to assist men who have experienced child sexual abuse or sexual assault.  

The intention is for Living Well to act as a collection point for information and resources that are useful for men who have been subjected to sexual violence, as well as for partners, friends, family and service providers.  We invite those visiting the site to adopt a practical approach, to treat the resource as a kind of tool kit that you pick up and use as you see fit, leaving to one side things that aren’t helpful or you just don’t need right now.

This site is still under construction.  We welcome suggestions and contributions to further develop the resource in ways that are useful to men who have experienced sexual violence.  In the future we hope we will be able to provide online counselling and a fully managed forum.  In the mean time, if there is some particular piece of information that you would like and can’t find please let us know.   

Living Well is an initiative of Kinections - Spiritus and was established through a grant from the Queensland Gambling Community Benefit Fund and the generous assistance of private donors.  We are extremely grateful to the men and women who have supported the development of this resource. 

Thank you
