A Solitary Place: a phenomenological examination of male on-male rape and sexual abuse

Male-on-male rape is a critically under-researched area in the sexual violence literature.

The Best of Both Worlds”: Experiences of young people attending groups co-facilitated by peer workers and clinicians in a youth mental health service

Peer Support is an emerging discipline within mental health services (Slade et al., 2014), providing opportunities for positive role modelling and peer influence (Faulkner & Basset, 2012).
