A Redland-based service for men has been awarded a $15,000 grant to help raise awareness about abuse, promote healing and reconciliation for male victims of sexual assault and institutional child abuse.

The Men & Co service manager Millie Knight says the funding would be crucial in developing videos that would allow men to share their experiences and encourage reconciliation.

With the support of the Redland City Council, Men & Co Services will engage with local men to tell their stories in a six-month process to help others open up about sexual assault experiences.
