If this happens and you feel that you need additional support, please visit The Male Survivors Partnership website, which contains a male survivor services directory with an extensive list of support services: https://www.malesurvivor.co.uk/support-for-male-survivors/

Survivors Manchester’s website (http://www.survivorsmanchester.org.uk/) contains a wealth of information, advice, and guidance for male survivors.

The NHS provides a number of self-help leaflets, which may be useful and can be accessed here – https://web.ntw.nhs.uk/selfhelp/ 

If you find yourself experiencing symptoms of extreme anxiety and/or distress please seek professional support and/or medical assistance via your GP, a mental health professional, or emergency services if in crisis.
