All male survivors of child sexual assault should know that the abuse was not their fault and that healing and recovery is possible.

SAMSN is a not-for-profit charity that has been developed through collaboration between survivors and professionals to provide services to male survivors their families and supporters.

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 feel welcome to contact us and talk to one of our team about services in your area.

Survivors & Mates Support Network was founded in 2011 by a small group of male survivors who were searching for a support group to meet other male survivors and deal with the effects of child sexual abuse on their lives. Unable to find such a group they started SAMSN.
