However, three years after these assaults Neil did speak out. He shared his painful experiences with his parents, and in turn they informed the local authorities. The message from the police was clear: Don't talk about it. Bury it. Forget it. So, Neil attempted to numb the pain through alcohol while combatting his depression and suicidal ideations alone. Thirty years later, Neil was able to begin his recovery by joining a men’s support group at the Sexual Assault Centre of Edmonton.

Today, Neil puts a face and voice to sexual abuse so that other men know it's okay to talk about this prevalent issue. On this episode we speak openly and honestly because we understand that if we can find our voice, we can find our freedom.
