What We Do

The Athlete Survivor Leadership & Support Network  

Survivors Empowered Through Connection and Purpose

We exist to amplify the voices of survivors, honor their experiences, and support each individual on their unique path toward healing. Whether through community connection or opportunities to lead change, we walk alongside survivors.

Our goal is to offer trauma-informed tools, training, and platforms to help survivors connect and advocate for safer, more accountable systems in sport. When survivors lead, the future gets stronger and sport becomes safer for all.

The Athlete Survivor Leadership & Support Network (ASLSN)

ASLSN is a comprehensive initiative designed to support and elevate athlete survivors of abuse in sport. Through three distinct programs, the ASLSN hopes to offer immediate support and long-term opportunities for healing, leadership development, and systemic change.

Whether a survivor is seeking care, community, or a platform to drive change, our goal is to meet them where they are and support pathways to healing and growth.

Currently Seeking Funding

The Athlete Survivor Peer Support Network is a peer-led, trauma-informed program that, once fully funded, will foster a global, compassionate community united to offer encouragement, promote healing, reduce isolation and stigma, and provide practical support.

The Athlete Survivor Speakers Collective is an initiative that will equip survivors to amplify their stories and voices. Participants will learn how to convey their message in an effective and trauma-informed way to increase awareness, advance policy change, and inspire cultural shifts in sport.

Trauma-Informed Survivor Advocacy Training 

Trauma-Informed Survivor Advocacy (TISA) is a 4-session training led by experts in system reform for athlete survivors. The training supports athlete survivors who want to get involved in advocacy efforts by sharing their expertise and lived experience changemakers.

Looking for More Resources?

From understanding the dynamics of abuse in sport to knowing your rights and options for reporting, our tools are here to help survivors move forward with confidence, at their own pace, and on their own terms.

Understanding Abuse in Sport

The culture of sport has unique dynamics that can allow abuse to occur. By recognizing and understanding these differences, we can take meaningful steps to make sport safer for every athlete.

Grooming in Sport

Grooming in sport occurs when a predator builds trust with an athlete in order to slowly cross boundaries, making inappropriate behavior seem normal. It’s a deliberate tactic to gain control and abuse an athlete.

Suspecting Abuse or Neglect

If you suspect abuse or neglect in sport, trust your instincts. Learn the signs.
