A Special Christmas Message: to Male Survivors.

Dec 26, 2024

Merry Christmas to all the brave men who have faced the pain of sexual assault. During this holiday season, we want to take a moment to acknowledge your strength and resilience.

Christmas is often portrayed as a time of joy and togetherness, but we recognize that it can also be a reminder of past hurts and struggles. Your journey may be filled with challenges, but it is important to remember that you are not alone. Your feelings are valid, and your experiences matter.

As you navigate the complexities of this season, please take time for self-care and reflection. Whether you choose to spend this time with loved ones, seek solace in quiet moments, or connect with others who understand your journey, know that you deserve comfort and support.

If you find yourself struggling, there are resources available to help you through this time. Here are some support numbers you can reach out to:

National Sexual Assault Hotline: 1-800-656-HOPE (4673)

Men’s Helpline: 1-800-610-7273

Crisis Text Line: Text "HOME" to 741741 for 24/7 support

We want to remind you that healing is a process, and it’s okay to take it one step at a time. This Christmas, we invite you to embrace your worth and acknowledge the progress you've made, no matter how small.

If you haven’t received one of our comfort blankets yet, please reach out to us. It’s a small gesture to wrap you in warmth and remind you that you are valued and cared for.

Wishing you a season of peace, healing, and hope. May the coming year bring you strength, support, and brighter days ahead.

With compassion,

Kathe'rine
