1IN6 INC

In the fourteen years since it was founded, 1IN6 has become a leading voice in the anti-sexual violence movement and a trusted resource for male-identifying survivors and their loved ones, as well a clinicians looking for research-based, trauma-informed information. 1IN6 helps to move these men from isolation into active recovery by providing accurate and compassionate information, inspiration, and support.Research indicates that the way masculinity is internalized often leads male survivors to repress their trauma and delay recovery. Moreover, the social stigma and silence around the issue of male sexual trauma results in a lack of awareness, which is a barrier to seeking help. The emotional impact of delaying recovery can systematically ripple out to every area of the survivors life, and th elives of those in his community. Men who do not get help risk exposure to greater physical health issues, mental health issues, and social disfunction.

The clinical soundness of 1IN6s services, combined with the breadth and accessibility of our programming, has enabled us to develop strong collaborative relationships with a broad spectrum of leaders and organizations in the anti-sexual violence field. As a result, weve been able to effectively promote a trauma-informed understanding of mens coping strategies in fields as diverse as education, criminal justice, substance abuse, homelessness, child welfare, and mental and phycial health. We have also become a respected participant in national and international conversations about sexual abuse and assault.
