This podcast episode from the National Sexual Violence Resource Center explores how male survivors of sexual violence experience and express trauma. Featuring Kenton Kirby from the Center for Court Innovation, the discussion highlights the importance of creating safe spaces where men feel supported in discussing their experiences of harm. Kirby highlights common ways men may express trauma, often different from societal expectations, and encourages advocates at sexual assault centers to adapt their approaches with sensitivity and awareness.
