| Project description |
CRFR worked, in collaboration
with the mental health charity health in mind, on a
major new research project with financial support from the Community
Fund.
The project produced some groundbreaking research findings in
Scotland, as, while quite a bit of work has been done on the
needs of abused women, male survivors have taken longer to feel
able to speak out about their experiences.
The project was managed by health in mind, which
already does a great deal
of work with survivors of childhood abuse. CRFR carried out
the research on its behalf, with Sarah Nelson as researcher,
supervised by Lynn Jamieson.
The qualitative research project used life-history methodology
to explore the impact of the men’s childhood experiences
on their wellbeing and relationships through the lifecourse.
The aim was to identify points where intervention and support
might have made a positive difference, to document their views
on the kinds of support they would have found helpful, and to
make recommendations for practical improvements
to services. The research findings will also contribute to a
training programme for both statutory and voluntary agencies. |
