Mike Lew - One day Awareness Conference
‘The Freedom to Heal’ - Working with Male Survivors of Abuse
North Wales Border – Glyndwr University, Wrexham
12th November 2011, 10.00am - 4.30pm
An awareness day for people interested in the impact that abuse, trauma and neglect has on men and boys.
Mike Lew, M.Ed. is a psychotherapist and group therapy leader from the Boston, Massachusetts area, USA and is director of the Next Step Counselling and Training Centre. He conducts public lectures, workshops for survivors, and trainings and consultations for mental health, medical, human service, clergy, law enforcement, and other professionals throughout the United States and Canada and in Europe, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand.
Mike Lew has worked with thousands of men and women in their healing from the effects of childhood sexual abuse, rape, physical violence, emotional abuse and neglect. The development of strategies for recovery from incest and other abuse, particularly for men, has been a major focus of his work as a counsellor and group leader. His publications include Victims No Longer: The Classic Guide for Men Recovering from Sexual Child Abuse (Second edition, revised and updated Quill, 2004). the first book written specifically for men recovering from sexual child abuse, Victims No Longer continues to earn praise for both its clinical expertise and compassionate tone, educating survivors and professionals about the recovery process, speaking to the pain, needs, fears and hopes of the adult male survivor. Mike’s second book is Leaping upon the Mountains (Small Wonder Books and North Atlantic Books, 1999).
Fuller details of the day programme will be published in due course.
We believe that Mike Lew’s visit to the UK is such a worthwhile and valuable opportunity to learn about working with and supporting men and those near to them that we have decided to offer the event for free. This has been made possible by a donation that will cover most of Mike’s expenses to us.
Our hope is that having accepted the place you would consider making a donation to Ffynnon PPD to help us with the other costs involved in the events, and to financially support the administration and running of them too.
You are fully free to give nothing as you are to gift the whole of the original price, anything in between or more, this is a genuine offer and we will not make a judgement on your choice, we want as many people to be at these events as possible.
