Guest, Don Wright
Don Wright, who holds a Master's of Education in Counselling Psychology, is the Founder and Executive Director of B. C. Society for Male Survivors of Sexual Abuse. This is the first agency in Canada mandated to provide recovery options for males who were victims of childhood sexual abuse, recent sexual assault or domestic violence.
Over the years, Don has acted as a mentor and guide to the other new organizations across Canada that have subsequently been established. Also, a former student, then staff therapist, moved to Japan, his home country, to establish the first agency in that country for male survivors. Don has provided consultation to similar organizations in Great Britain, New Zealand and Australia. He has also provided consultation to the Provincial and Federal governments regarding victims' issues.
In addition to his administrative duties, Don supervises practicum students who have come to BCSMSSA from universities in eight countries. Don is also responsible for providing all of the agency's conference and training seminars across Canada and the US.
He also maintains a case load of individual and group therapy clients. In his words “This is what the agency is all about and I don't want to lose sight of that”.
In 2001, the B. C. Human Rights commission awarded Don the B.C. Human Right Medal of Honour for his pioneering work in this field.
