A Voice for the Voiceless

John-Michael Lander created a Voice for the Voiceless.

Through writing, speaking, and consulting, he helps individuals and organizations identify the signs of grooming, manipulating, and stigmatizing of sexual abuse and how to help survivors (of any type of abuse) face the past and find their true self.

About Me

Building Connections

Workshops and Keynotes

Building Connections

As a 14-year-old Olympic Bound Athlete, the adults entrusted with my training, groomed and trafficked me into silence, causing the most exciting time of my life to be filled with shame and guilt while I still went on to win gold medals at the Norway and Danish Cups.

Through my experiences I developed the Predatory Grooming Trifecta© which demonstrates how the predator grooms the organization first, the parents second, and then the child, which allows the predator to go undetected for years.

After publishing my books, Surface Tension and Cracked Surface, I dedicate myself to bringing my message to conferences around the world. Whether as a keynote speaker or a workshop leader, I break through the myths and boundaries of Predatory Grooming, Long-term Effects of Sexual Abuse, and Surviving.

Embrace the Future

John-Michael battled with finding his true self and authentic voice. As an athlete, he endured sexual abuse from coaches, benefactors, and medical team which resulted in years of PTSD, depression, anxiety, and even suicide attempts. His research, The Grooming Trifecta, provides how grooming effects everyone no matter their sexual orientation, gender, or religious beliefs.

Watch the video and take the pledge to end trafficking.

HEMAD is an award-winning campaign to motivate men to take a public stand against the commercial sex trade and human trafficking. The campaign is spreading across the country and around the world through social media. So far, more than 65,000 men have taken the HEMAD (Human trafficking Educators working with Men and boys to stand Against the Demand) pledge.

Human sex trafficking is a growing problem here in Wisconsin. A study from the Medical College of Wisconsin found that in the City of Milwaukee alone there were 340 people believed to be victims between 2013 and 2016. The National Trafficking Hotline also reported 134 cases in Wisconsin in 2018.

Our goal this year is 75,000 men worldwide. It is important to every woman that every man take this pledge. Join the movement and help us make history.
