Male Abuse Story Archive

Welcome to MEND’s archive of male victim stories of healing. Men can be victims, too, and we have compiled their stories to help inspire hope for men who are struggling to identify and speak about the abuse they are experiencing or have experienced.

We hope through this page, male victims will feel and know they are not alone.
