This 56 page book has been written to provide men with some practical information and support about dealing with the effects of sexual abuse. We have tried to keep it manageable, both in terms of its size and the level of detail.
Most of all we hope that it offers some useful ideas about taking care of yourself.

Invitation to work with us
Whilst we have worked to make the Guide something that might be useful for all men who have experienced sexual abuse, we recognize that there are specific issues that particular groups of men face, and that it will be useful to develop specifically adapted editions for Indigenous men, for Men from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Backgrounds, for example. We would welcome contact from service providers or groups of men interested in working with us to suitably revise and adapt version for their communities.
Official launch
On Tuesday the 10th of May 2011, Living Well: A Guide for Men will be officially launched at St John's Cathedral, Brisbane, as part of the 18th Captain Snapper Loaves and Fishes Fundraising Luncheon, of which Living Well is the 2011 beneficiary. A copy of the booklet will be formally presented to the Archbishop of Brisbane and the Primate of Australia, the Most Reverend Dr Philip Aspinall.
