Community Awareness Promoting Empowerment for male Survivors of childhood sexual abuse, CAPES is a Heartly House initiative aimed at providing support and empowerment.
This virtual event is an expansion of our previous program that will include breakout sessions and a survivor-led panel where you'll hear from survivors, secondary survivors, and a therapist who specializes in trauma.
We want to create more spaces where male survivors feel safe to come forward and receive support in healing, and we know that a first step towards that goal is to normalize talking about difficult topics.
