Male Survivors Otago is a member organisation of Male Survivors Aotearoa- the national advocacy and policy organisation for male survivors in New Zealand. See national website here.
We are committed to helping men who have suffered sexual, physical or emotional abuse to discover and sustain their own recovery pathway. We work alongside men, sharing our knowledge and experiences, and moving towards a better future together.
Regardless of where you are in your journey towards healing, we provide compassionate and practical support without judgement.
We offer an intentional peer support on a one-to-one basis, or as a member of a peer support group – the opportunity to work with someone who has also experienced trauma, someone who has ‘walked where you are now walking’.
