Bros E-Learning Platform

Mauri Ora, I’m Harmz, the Kaitiaki of this page. Welcome! Whether you’re here for the first time or returning, I’m here to assist you. We’re in the process of developing this e-learning platform for its launch in June 2025. Feel free to check out the current version, and be sure to return for the updated version soon.
Purpose of this platform
This webpage is dedicated to Māori and Pacific men who have experienced childhood sexual abuse. We understand that sharing your story and seeking help can be challenging, but you are not alone. This space is for you – to learn new skills, get support, resources, and be in a community that understands and stands by you.
Understanding the Impact of Childhood Sexual Abuse
What happened to you is not your fault. Yes, it happened, but it does not define you. We’re here to support you as you take steps towards healing. Start the process by accessing completing the first Module.
Learning to come forward and get support
Module 1: Te Kore (The Void)
Experiencing sexual violence, family harm, and other challenges can affect how we see the world and understand the spaces we’re in. This can leave us feeling in chaos, which is called "Te Kore." The goal of this module is to help you move from that state of chaos (Te Kore) into a place of possibility – Te Korekore.
Activity: Watch a video – Start this journey out of Te Kore by watching a video that shares Māori and Pacific men's perspectives on coming forward. If you feel triggered at any point, please reach out to us so we can support you. Then take a break, get in a walk or exercise for ten minutes to get your head in the space for the next module.

Module 2: Te Korekore (The Realm of Potential)
Watch a video Pain To Power: Sexual Abuse Recovery w/ Dr. Alexander Stevens II or
Listen to the Podcast via Spotify.
Activity: Reflect on what the men went through in the previous videos in Te Kore, what they experienced, and what you heard from Dr. Stevens II. Make a list of your own strengths or positive qualities that will help you get through this time. The goal is to help you recognize your own resilience.
This activity is designed to help you see yourself as strong and capable, even if you're just starting your healing journey.
