SAMSSA DOES NOT PROVIDE SERVICES TO MEN WHO USE SEXUAL VIOLENCE AGAINST OTHER MEN, WOMEN OR CHILDREN

SAMSSA DOES NOT PROVIDE PERPETRATOR COUNSELLING SERVICES OR PROGRAMMES

SAMSSA has worked with hundreds of courageous men, and their families and supporters, and they have taught us a great deal. 

It can be very hard for a man to ask for help because of cultural expectations about manhood, fear of ridicule and shame. We encourage male survivors of child sexual assault, and adult men who have been raped or assaulted, to seek support and counselling services. This will assist in lowering the potential risk of long term impacts of sexual assault trauma - including the impacts of living in isolation.
