ABOUT THIS EVENT
Men cry too. There is the acknowledgement that, while talking things through may sometimes be ineffective therapy for some men who have experienced trauma, for many, it is very helpful. More so, if it is done in a ‘safe place’ where conversations can be had as a means of trying to rescue those who may have survived trauma, but need to speak out or truly heal.
Bereavement affects us all differently and the healing process is both unique and personal.
