3rd Annual Male Abuse Awareness Week - December 1-8, 2010

The
P. Luna Foundation, a California 501(c)3 Nonprofit Organization is proud to
present the

3rd Annual Male
Abuse Awareness Week Campaign, December 1st through 8^th,
2010!

This
is an important awareness campaign to encourage young males who are victims and
survivors of abuse to seek help before they grow up to become the abusers.
We also provide men of all ages a huge list of help resources and
communities. This is how we can all help stop many cases
of child abuse, domestic violence, drug addiction
and suicide before they start.

Oprah
Winfrey
embraced this cause last month with a landmark double episode where 200 sexually
abused men came forward.
Of the 200 men that showed up, 80% had admitted to contemplating suicide because
they were not able to come out about their past abuse and seek help. The
taboo of this cause has to end!
