From Penn State to Washington, DC to the pages of the New York Times, 2012 was historic for MaleSurvivor. We worked harder than ever before to spread the message that Hope, Healing, and Support are possible for every survivor. And thanks to your reviews MaleSurvivor was just named a Top Rated Nonprofit by Great Nonprofits for the first time in it's history!
It would be understandable, perhaps even wise, for us to take a bit of a break. But there is more of a need than ever for MaleSurvivor and the resources we provide.

Bellefonte, PA - The sentencing of Jerry Sandusky is the beginning of a new chapter ,not the end of the story. With Sandusky slated to spend the rest of his life behind bars many people would be happy to move on and put this ugly scandal behind them. But the repercussions of Sandusky's actions as well as the inactions of all those who chose not to intervene will continue to impact the lives of the victims for years to come.
In April, MaleSurvivor celebrated Sexual Assault Awareness Month by holding the most successful awareness events in its history. The Dare To Dream campaign brought hope and healing to hundreds of people whose lives have been touched by the scourge of sexual abuse. Over the course of the month, more than 500 people participated in training sessions, film screenings, and talkbacks. At some events, survivors took the courageous step of speaking publicly, often for the first time, about having been abused.
Howard Fradkin, Ph.D., LICDC, Co-Chairperson, MaleSurvivor Weekends of Recovery
- Recovery is absolutely possible and achievable for me.
- I will practice being disloyal to dysfunction and loyal to functionality.
- I give myself permission to connect to loving, affirmative, strong, sensitive, accepting men and women in my community.
- I release and forgive myself for any responsibility I have accepted in the past for my abuse.
- The abuser (s) from the past chose to hurt me; I will stop repeating the lie that it just happened to me.
- Offering myself daily compassion is necessary for my healing and growth.
- I commit to connecting to the boy inside me today so we can play, laugh and experience joy together, even if just for a minute or two.
- I believe deep inside me I possess the ability to face the truth of my abuse and to learn to use new tools for healing.
- I have the right and the ability to speak the truth of my abuse and deserve to be heard, understood, believed and supported.
- Feeling is healing; as I heal, I develop the ability to experience a wider range of emotions to enhance my health and connections to others.
