Living Well is an initiative of Spiritus and is the only service of its type - a Queensland resource offering a range of services specifically designed to assist men who have experienced childhood sexual abuse or sexual assault, as well as their partners, friends and family and service providers.

If you or someone you know has experienced sexual abuse, whether as a child or adult, please know that you are not alone.  Support and assistance is available. Living Well currently provides the following services.

Web resources

The Living Well website is designed to act as a collection point for information and resources that are useful for men who have been subjected to sexual violence and their supporters.

Face to face counselling

We offer face to face counselling for individuals, couples and families at our North Brisbane office. We understand that you might want to speak to someone before making an appointment, in order to decide whether counselling is for you or just check us out. Please give us a call if this is the case, or opt for a telephone counselling appointment.

Telephone counselling

Like face to face counselling, telephone counselling is available by appointment. We recognize that telephone counselling is a practical way for men and their supporters to access information and support. Sometimes, people can feel more comfortable talking things through on the phone than in person. Telephone contact can be used to talk through concerns about confidentiality or privacy, to bridge distance and time constraints, even to help decide if counselling is what you want.

Training and consultation

As well as the above services we also provide training and professional development in the form of short public talks, presentations or 2 full day workshops designed to "Build worker confidence and competence in working with men who have experienced childhood sexual abuse or sexual assault".
