NEW ALUMNI SUPPORT GROUPS SCHEDULED TO BEGIN IN JANUARY!
Weekend of Recovery (WOR) alumni who have attended any WOR or DOR since 2001 are invited to participate in our Online Alumni Support Groups. Registration for the newest 15-session series of groups is now open through December 9th. Groups will begin the week of January 9th, 2023 and continue until late July. Alumni who have participated in a previous series of support groups are also welcome to apply. Priority will be given to first-time registrants should the group reach capacity. To register and for more information about the Online Alumni Support Groups, please click the image below…
Meanwhile, we are working on plans to expand the Support Group program by spring 2023 to launch support groups for partners and for survivors who have not yet attended a WOR.

We are grateful to the generosity of supporters who have donated to our campaign to raise 100K in the final 100 Days of 2022. THANKS to each of YOU who have already donated!! If you haven’t already, please consider a financial gift this holiday season to help MenHealing maintain our innovative healing and community work throughout 2023.
A very special Thanks to the incredible generosity of one of our WOR alumni who recently made a challenge contribution; this allowed donations for Giving Tuesday to be doubled, dollar for dollar, up to $10,000 in total donations!

ART EXHIBIT TO FEATURE MALE SURVIVORS
MenHealing is participating in an exciting collaboration: Our Wave, MaleSurvivor, I Am Man, and MenHealing are soliciting submissions from men and male-identified survivors for a planned online art exhibit during April 2023. Survivors are invited to share their healing journey in the form of pictures, text, or video! Submissions can be posted through 2/28/23 by clicking HERE.
This creative virtual exhibit will be a dynamic addition for Sexual Violence Awareness Month and National Child Abuse Prevention Month in April 2023. Please consider whether YOU have something to contribute.
Let us know if you have a testimonial to share – we welcome your submissions.
We want to honor the diversity of voices of survivors – and allies.
