[Content Warning]: Child sexual abuseToday Dave Markel, friend of the podcast and host of the S.A.S.S. (Sexual Assault Survivor Stories) podcast, is hosting a round table featureing three male survivors of childhood sexual abuse; David Weeks, Lee Cooper, and Robert Marshall. Each was affected in their own ways, but today in part two of this episode, they come together to discuss the differences they've seen between all male survivor groups compared to mixed groups or what they've heard from all female groups. They express the need for male voices to be more forward in this field of healing, not to detract from any female support in the world, but since men are less likely to report or disclose those who are able to speak out are vital to raising awareness. They also converse on the mixed signals a man has to sift through in order to have security in their sexuality. Lee Cooper addresses his shift from wanting to heal to wanting to speak out and take his perpetrator to court. In closing; Robert calls for those who have survived these abuses who find that telling their story isn't enough to take up advocacy, David stresses that we need to educate youth in psychology to better protect them from predators, and Lee emphasizes the need for core changes in the judicial systems so that predators are not favored.If you or your business could use Dave's consulting services visit his website at: www.markel-consulting.comBe sure to check out Dave Markel's podcast S.A.S.S.:https://sexassaultsurvivorstories.libsyn.com/Check Out David On Insta: Djweeks_Check Out Lee's Photography:PlacesNowhere.comInsta: coopscwCheck Out What Robert Is Up To:Insta: roberthmarshalljrThe Survival Circle website or on Insta the_survivorscircleBuy Robert's Book:EchoesIf you are someone you know is experiencing emotional distress or suicidal ideation, please access the resources below:National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline: Call/Text 988National Sexual Assault Hotline  (RAINN) : 1-800-656-HOPE (4673)National Alliance for Mental Illness: 1-800-950-6264Subscribe / Support / Contact:

Duncan Craig is the founder and CEO of We Are Survivors. Here he discusses the work of his charity in supporting male survivors of sexual abuse and exploitation. He shares his personal journey of realizing his own survivor status and the lack of support available for male victims. Duncan highlights the barriers faced by male survivors in seeking help, including societal homophobia and the lack of visibility and representation. He also discusses the services provided by We Are Survivors, the demographic data of their clients, and the need for multiple attempts at seeking help. Duncan reflects on the case of Reynhard Sinaga and the limited media coverage of his crimes. Finally, he discusses the importance of storytelling and maintaining psychological health in challenging work. In this conversation, Duncan emphasizes the need for regular supervision and the role it plays in supporting the staff. He also highlights the organization's values of transparency, integrity, understanding, and responsiveness. He talks about creating a supportive environment for the staff, including providing spaces for breaks and encouraging laughter. Finally, Duncan shares his personal coping strategies, such as creating boundaries between work and personal life and watching light-hearted TV content.   Main points; Male survivors of sexual abuse and exploitation face unique barriers in seeking help, including societal homophobia and the lack of visibility and representation. Services for male survivors should provide a range of options, including anonymous online support, face-to-face counseling, and specialized programs for specific populations such as prisoners. There is a need for greater awareness and understanding of male vulnerability and the experiences of male survivors in order to provide effective support and prevention strategies. Media coverage and public discourse often overlook or downplay the experiences of male survivors, perpetuating harmful stereotypes and hindering progress in addressing the issue. Maintaining psychological health in challenging work requires self-care strategies, such as storytelling, building rapport with clients, and recognizing the importance of personal boundaries. Regular clinical supervision is crucial for supporting staff in organizations working with survivors of sexual abuse. Transparency, integrity, understanding, and responsiveness are important values to uphold in such organizations. Creating a supportive environment includes providing spaces for breaks and encouraging laughter. Personal coping strategies, such as setting boundaries and engaging in light-hearted activities, are essential for self-care.

Meet Mike Chapman - Part 1From the age of 3, he was abused by his father who had other victims as well. His mother had never wanted children, his father convinced her to, and up until Mike was 8 the abuse continued. Mike believes he was conceived for this father's purpose of abuse,  until he aged out, at which point his father left the family. You can reach Mike on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/PolarLifeConsulting email - PolarLifeConsulting@gmail.com Linktree - https://linktr.ee/polarlifeconsulting (all podcast/media appearances) Website - https://www.polarlifeconsulting.com/ Podcast - Healing for Male Survivors - https://www.polarlifeconsulting.com/podcast (also on most platforms) Santa Website - https://www.SantaMikeENC.com/ HELPNZ    Sexual Harm Helpline, 0800 044 334 or text 4334, support@safetotalk.nz.          Help Auckland  0800 623 1700.

One of the most underreported facets of Human Trafficking is that many men and boys are also victimized. However, many of them never report it out of embarrassment or fear. There are little in the way of available resources for men and boys who are abused. Now, a place called Bob's Hope in Texas is looking to change that.

Podcaster Ron Rappaport (It's a Wrap with Rap) was stopped in his tracks when he received the diagnosis. Breast cancer?!! But he was a guy. How could that be? After Googling the matter, he found Male Breast Cancer Happens, founded by mom Peggy Miller with her son Bret Miller, who first found his lump at 17 and today is the youngest known male breast cancer survivor in the US. You will learn: * If a human has breasts, they can get breast cancer, regardless of gender. * Because men aren't encouraged to do self-examinations or know that they can get breast cancer, they are often diagnosed too late to have positive outcomes. * A combination of self-advocacy and group support can change the trajectory of the cancer journey.

J.D. McCabe maintained a loving relationship with his wife for nearly twenty years before their marriage, family, and world began to crumble. Their foundation had been rooted in "trust is the bedrock of a healthy relationship". Indeed, Erin had always claimed that things wouldn't — couldn't — work without trust. But Erin became suspicious of his every move. His phone calls, texts, and work emails were turned into proof of infidelity, drug addiction, and a network of lies on his part. She enlisted her mother in her efforts, and together they forged the words of family, trust and honesty beat him into the ground. Their accusations accumulated, twisting reality, and eventually resulting in Danny's involuntary hospitalization. Listen to J.D.'s story. You will not be able to guess where it goes or how he survived. You can read J.D.

One of the most underreported facets of Human Trafficking is that many men and boys are also victimized. However, many of them never report it out of embarrassment or fear. There are little in the way of available resources for men and boys who are abused. Now, a place called Bob's Hope in Texas is looking to change that.(commercial at 14:22)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.wfaa.com/article/features/originals/denton-safe-house-for-male-sex-trafficking-victims/287-797358ae-b629-4e8d-b1de-0f9cabee1901This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5080327/advertisement

This week's episode is unique and exciting because we had a male survivor join us and share an inside look at his lived experience. John-Michael Lander is a former Olympic diving contender and sexual abuse survivor. As a 14-year-old Olympic-bound athlete, the adults entrusted in John-Michael's training groomed and trafficked him into silence. Through writing, speaking, and consulting, he helps individuals and organizations identify the PredatoryGrooming Trifecta©. He also openly talks about Male Trauma Bonding, Locker Room Talk, How to Talk to Male Survivors, and the Reluctancy of Reporting. He is a certified Trainer and Life coach for the Self-Talk Institute and is helping survivors find their voice.In this episode, John-Michael shares what parents should look for in their children that may be signs of grooming, what to do if you suspect grooming, and shares what impact grooming had on his life. Thank you for listening today!

From the outside, Zahir seemed to be living the perfect life. He had a successful job, a beautiful apartment and he had just got married. Behind closed doors, however, the situation was much less than ideal.Zahir and his wife were miserable. They were constantly arguing and those arguments were beginning to escalate. Eventually, Zahir felt that the situation could not continue and he told his wife that they should consider a divorce. Her reaction was one of fury. She marched towards Zahir and pinned him against the wall, she then proceeded to put her hands around his throat and made a threat that he would never forget.Nothing like this had ever happened between Zahir and his wife before. How was Zahir supposed to react? And how would he move on from this experience?Alex Melia, and the Stories of Men team are on a mission to uncover what it means to live an independent and meaningful life. We'll be sharing this knowledge with you every week.We'd like to extend our appreciation to today's guest, Zahir.

Our focus on Midday today is the Attorney General's Report on Child Sexual Abuse in the Archdiocese of Baltimore.A warning to our listeners: for the rest of the hour, we're going to talk about child sexual abuse.Yesterday, Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown released the long-awaited Catholic clergy sexual abuse report. It chronicles more than 80 years of abuse by more than 150 Catholic clergy members, seminarians, deacons and Archdiocese employees, and their victimization of more than 600 children and young people. The Catholic Church is by no means the only religious faith institution which has had clergy break trust and act criminally with their congregants, nor are religious institutions the only professions in which abusers prey on children. But the Catholic Church is the sole focus of this particular report. Here's part of what AG Brown had to say yesterday when he announced the report's release: “Today, certainly in Maryland, is a day of reckoning and a day of accounting…“The incontrovertible history uncovered by this investigation is one of pervasive, pernicious and persistent abuse by priests and other Archdiocese personnel. It's also a history of repeated cover-up of that abuse by the Catholic Church hierarchy…” "What was consistent throughout the stories was the absolute authority and power these abusive priests and the church leadership held over survivors, their families and their communities. The report seeks to document this long and sordid history..." "While it may be too late for the survivors to see criminal justice served, we hope that exposing the archdiocese's transgressions to the fullest extent possible will bring some measure of accountability and perhaps encourage others to come forward." — Md Attorney General Anthony Brown, speaking Wednesday in Annapolis. The report was written by Elizabeth Embry, who worked on it for four years. Ms. Embry is now a member of the House of Delegates. She will be joining Tom to talk about the report and its findings here on Midday next week, after the General Assembly Session has concluded. The abuse described in the report goes back to the 1940s. Archbishop William Lori, in a letter to Catholics published yesterday offered an apology, acknowledged the, quote, “reprehensible time in the history of this Archdiocese,” and asserted that since the 1990s, the church has been more transparent and cooperative with law enforcement to remove abusers from its ranks. We invited Archbishop Lori to join our conversation. He declined our invitation. Today is a holy day in the church calendar, Maundy Thursday, and the Archbishop's spokesperson cited a schedule conflict.Today, we'll hear from some of the survivors of the abuse that is described in the report, from reporters who have been covering this story, and from a Doctor who treats child sexual abusers. Joining Tom in Studio A to discuss the AG's report are Scott Maucione, WYPR's health reporter, and Emily Hofstaedter, a WYPR general assignment reporter. We also hear a recorded comment from Dylan Segelbaum, a reporter with WYPR's news partner, The Baltimore Banner. Later in the program, Tom is joined by Dr. Elizabeth Letourneau. She's the director of the Moore Center for the Prevention of Child Sexual Abuse at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. If you are a victim of abuse, and you are ready to come forward you can report past abuse by members of the clergy or anyone else by calling the Attorney General's Office at 410-576-6312 or emailing report@oag.state.md.us. In addition, there are a variety of local and national resources available for survivors of sexual violence: Baltimore Child Abuse Center at Center for Hope: 410-601-HOPE; https://lbhstaging22.lifebridgehealth.org/CenterforHope/BaltimoreChildAbuseCenterServices.aspx Center for Family and Traumatic Stress at Kennedy Krieger Institute: 443-923-5980; https://www.kennedykrieger.org/patient-care/centers-and-programs/traumatic-stress-center Maryland Coalition Against Sexual Assault: https://mcasa.org/ Male Survivors: https://malesurvivor.org/ Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network: https://www.rainn.org/ Survivor Network of Those Abused by Priests (SNAP): https://www.snapnetwork.org/ CORRECTION: During today's live broadcast, we heard a clip of a woman named Maria Smith. Ms. Smith was incorrectly identified; she is a Catholic parishioner, not a survivor of sexual abuse. We apologize for the error.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

25. Julian Jones: A Male Survivor Tells His Story of Relationship Rape, and How He Survived WARNING: This episode is very graphic, explicit, and detailed in the descriptions of rape, sexual assault, and drugging that occurred to this guest; it is not appropriate for children, and extreme discretion is advised in keeping the listening audience restricted to only appropriately aged and emotionally capable persons. Julian Jones texted me. He wanted me to know that he had listened to every episode of Sexual Assault Survivor Stories. And he wanted me to know that he is a survivor…a survivor with COMPLEX PTSD (CPTSD), but a survivor, none-the-less. And Julian wanted me to know that he is ready to talk about his relationship rape because he was so inspired by my previous guests, Caroline Markel Hammond, Haley Roma, Arci Grey, and all of the other guest survivors. And Julian wants everyone to be aware of how strong rape culture is in Australia, and how he wants to do something about it…by talking about it and making people aware of the vast prevalence of relationship and other kinds of rape and sexual assault. Because he knows from experience of these elements. Julian impressed me—and in short order made me realize that he was definitely someone I wanted you to hear from. I cannot begin to tell you how impressive Julian is…for many reasons (some of which I just listed), but you'll pick up on that straightaway as you listen to this episode. I was constantly in awe of how articulate Julian is in telling his story, and of how courageous and brave he is to tell his story despite the threats he has received for talking about his experience. But most of all, I was totally in awe of how authentic and forthright Julian is about his own rape and survival story. He is in the ongoing process of healing, even though he knows what happened to him he will never be able to forget. But he's okay with that because it has inspired him to tell others; and because he wants to do his part to bring justice to victims and survivors of rape and sexual assault. I want to remind you to follow Julian's example. One of the best ways to do that is to Start by Believing. And, please, tell everyone you know, and all your family, to listen to Sexual Assault Survivor Stories; and please rate and subscribe to/follow this podcast. Feel free to drop me a note and give me your thoughts about Sexual Assault Survivor Stories; I'd love to read your comments. Thanks for listening!

In 1996, she became an RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) officer.

Here, as she combed through video evidence, she witnessed first-hand the grooming tactics commonly used by sophisticated pedophiles.After retiring from the RCMP, Dr. Palfy obtained her Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from the University of Alberta. She conducted her doctoral research on the reasons why males don't commonly disclose sexual abuse. She is now a trained trauma therapist and public speaker on the topic of male sexual abuse.

Today's episode is a conversation with author and survivor Stephen Mills about his recently published memoir, Chosen. For those who haven't yet read his book, which we highly recommend, it recounts Mills' abuse at the hands of a camp counselor over several years, and his long journey towards healing. While many institutional abuse cases involve boys, there are very, very few published accounts of male survivorship. And, if we're to help boys who have been abused, then it's critical for us to understand how this experience may differ from that of female survivorship. Mills' account is deeply moving, and it challenges all of us to better protect boys in the first place, and better help them heal if they have been abused.Topics in this episode:Why we need this story (1:17)Stigma and shame (3:42)Grooming family and community (6:50)Longing for justice (17:34)Pushing institutions to change (26:17)Public policy wishes (29:45)Advice for child abuse professionals (34:39)Learn signs and tactics (41:46)For more information (47:01)Links:Stephen Mills is the coauthor with Roger Fouts of Next of Kin: My Conversations with Chimpanzees.

Stephen Mills is the author of CHOSEN: A Memoir of Stolen Boyhood published by Henry Holt & Company. In this first of many interviews I will be co-hosting with my friend, attorney and advocate Kathryn Robb, we three survivors of child sexual abuse share a moving discussion about the emotional impact of abuse, challenges specific to male survivors, how predators operate, parents who missed the signs, correcting misconceptions, the lawsuit Stephen filed, and so much more.

Stephen, whose father died when he was four, places his trust in this authority figure, who first grooms and then molests him for two years. Stephen tells no one, but the aftershocks rip through his adult life, as intense as his denial: self-loathing, drug abuse, petty crime, and horrific nightmares, all made worse by the discovery that his abuser is moving from camp to camp, state to state, molesting other boys. Only physical and mental collapse bring Stephen to confront the truth of his boyhood and begin the painful process of recovery--as well as a decades-long crusade to stop a serial predator, find justice, and hold to account those who failed the children in their care. The trauma of sexual abuse is shared by one out of every six men, yet very few have broken their silence. Unflinching and compulsively readable, CHOSEN eloquently speaks for those countless others and their families. It is a rare act of consummate courage and generosity--the indelible story of a man who faces his torment and his tormentor and, in the process, is made whole.

One of the main problems we have when it comes to Human Trafficking is the fact that there just are not enough resources available for those who need them. Yet, we are seeing more and more groups stepping up to help provide a place for these traumatized people to land. In this episode, we discuss one of those places called Bob's Hope.
