Survivor Stories

Adam is a survivor.

When Adam was 14, a normal encounter with his uncle suddenly turned abusive. “I took steps to prevent the pain, but a part of me thought that was how he loved me.” The abuse continued over the next four years. It took time for Adam to heal from the experience and become comfortable disclosing what happened. Today he proudly shares his story to remind survivors of sexual assault, especially men and boys, that they are not alone.
