    12. Creating Change Through Lived Experience with Duncan
    2026/07/06

    In this powerful episode, host George sits down with Duncan Craig OBE, founder and CEO of We Are Survivors, to explore how we can better support male survivors, amplify their voices, and shape a future where healing is accessible to all. At We Are Survivors, we amplify male survivor voices through our services: We Are Listening, Speaking Out, and OUT Side OUT Spoken.

    This conversation explores the vital work being done to break the silence around male sexual abuse and trauma, the healing journeys survivors navigate, and what the future holds for survivor support and advocacy.
