Men’s Health Week 2022

At Moray Rape Crisis we support adults and young people, aged 11 and over, of any gender, race, sexual orientation, disability, and religious and cultural background. This includes male survivors.

Men’s Health Week 2022 shines a light on the issues men face in terms of physical and mental health and well-being, and encourages men to take time to look after themselves. During this week we wish to highlight that our service is fully inclusive of male survivors. It doesn’t matter when the abuse took place, it could be recent or in the past, regardless we can support you.

Anyone can experience sexual violence. Men who have experienced sexual violence may have particular worries and fears, and can face barriers to accessing support.

Rise Up: Sexual Abuse and Trauma Service for Young People in Moray

No matter when it happened, or who it was, if someone has harmed you or made you feel uncomfortable in a sexual way, even if you are not sure, you can contact Rise Up to speak with someone.

The ‘Rise Up’ project at Moray Rape Crisis is for any young person aged 11-18 in Moray who has experienced any form of sexual violence or abuse.

We support young people of any gender, race, sexual orientation, disability, and religious and cultural background.

Cooking Groups at Moray Rape Crisis

At Moray Rape Crisis we have been thrilled to restart our groupwork programme for the first time since January 2020, following the easing of restrictions associated with COVID-19.

Survivors we have supported in this time have spoken about missing groupwork because it gives them a sense of community and support, wherever they are on their own healing journey. To date, our groupwork programmes have been activity-focussed and have included cooking, creative arts and singing. While no survivors attending these groups are asked to disclose or speak about their experience, survivors have spoken about the strength and solidarity they feel standing beside other survivors.
