“I really appreciated the chance to speak with a survivor about the challenges in my life.” Ned
Welcome to samsn
Established in 2011, SAMSN is Australia’s leading organisation for male survivors of child sexual abuse and their supporters.
SAMSN is a not-for-profit charity that evolved through collaboration between survivors and professionals to provide services to male survivors, their families, and supporters. Our services for survivors and supporters are FREE.
All male survivors of child sexual assault should know that the abuse was not their fault and that healing and recovery is possible. Regardless of his ethnicity, sexual orientation, age or religion, any man, including all expressions of male gender identity, can contact SAMSN for support.
We are currently able to offer our services to male survivors who are residents of NSW, were abused in NSW (but may reside interstate or overseas) and to those eligible for the National Redress Scheme who currently reside in NSW. If this does not apply to you, please still contact us and talk to one of our team about services in your area.
