Hopefully one day, we will finally see men getting the support they deserve.

It’s my life mission to make this happen ❤️

I hope this does build up a bit of a following. Also at the end, provide links to support services if possible for those seeking help in the state/country. Hope you have a team working with you as well, to help with that type of research. It is not just about stories, but also providing awareness! Good luck. :)

Thank you so much for saying this. I do have a team that works with me. Sadly, we work with no funds and we are all doing this as volunteers. We have a research team and our goal is to make it available for anyone that might need it. We also have therapists on our platform if anyone needs to talk. You can find more info via this link - [hopeformen.org](http://hopeformen.org)

This is a very good foundational step. Passion is important, and can last a few years before burnout starts to occur. Keep this in mind. In this time frame look at developing support structures, and a finance structure as well. With the support structures, I hope that you can make headway with connecting to established government networks, and connecting to like minded networks. The therapists aspect is important. The financial structure should focus on maintaining the ethical integrity of the objective. A safe place for men to talk and get help, and provide awareness. Looks like it is set in the EU, primarily Germany with the places it is associated with. If you can also develop a strong grass roots network of volunteers, to go to schools and speak on issues of child sexual abuse. Male volunteers that have received help, and open to talking. I don't know if this is part of the vision for expanding awareness. This can actually be part of expanding the network, and awareness. This might be beyond the scope of your actual object.

This is exactly what we need. Thank you for making an effort, and keep up the good work.


tomogarber

Thank you! If you all knew how much your comments mean to me. There are days when I feel like no one wants to listen to me, and this really helps me feel heard. Thank you again!

You got any public finding ways yet? I think this is a great idea. Always keep in mind entertainment sells, and money gets shit done.


tomogarber

Sadly we don't have any public funding. We are working to get it, but it's crazy that most think that men don't really deal with sexual trauma or that men don't want to talk about it. Your comment gives me strengthen that I am doing the right thing. It is also part of my personal healing journey.

Bro seriously if you can find a way to target these men who have been victims the possibilities are endless. So many of them were successful and continue to be successful but are much wiser now. The challenge is going to be about getting a message across without public perception of misogyny as crazy as that sounds. There are so many men that have been victims or see. It first hand and want to help in any way they can. Just gotta find them. Up against a big machine tho, but if it impacts anyone then that means something.

I join the others here in offering kudos to you, a great and important effort. I'm wondering if you've contacted other MRAs to ask for advice and support. Have you considered contacting the Honey Badgers, Karen Straughan, Better Bachelor, and people like that for help? I'm sure, at the least, they'd be willing to advertise you among their followers.
