1in6 (English and Español) – the mission is to help men who have had unwanted or abusive sexual experiences in childhood live healthier, happier lives. Our mission also includes serving family members, friends, and partners by providing information and support resources on the web and in the community. 1in6 also provides 24/7 online support for men, Santa Clarita, CA.
- The Bristlecone Project: Portraits of Male Survivors – 1in6’s latest awareness initiative, was developed in collaboration with founding Board member, Dr. David Lisak. It is a mosaic of photographs and words that portray the reality and hope of men who were sexually abused as children. It focuses on the present, not the past. Who each man is. What defines him. What is the focus of his life. Each man will be portrayed through a series of photographs, a brief written portrait, and his own voice. The purpose is to portray this reality — who we are now, living meaningful and dignified lives — to the many men who may feel isolated and stigmatized by what happened to them. And to portray this reality to whole communities through the website and public exhibitions, providing positive, hopeful role models of men who have faced their childhood experiences and who learned to live healthier, happier lives.
