I began telling my story in partnership with the Ontario Provincial Police in Canada as part of their inaugural male victimization conference." He goes on, "I began to find hope and healing. I began telling my story in partnership with the Ontario Provincial Police in Canada as part of their inaugural male victimization conference. After 25 of these successful conferences, my passion for advocacy took root and I joined many support initiatives across North America including End Child Prostitution & Trafficking Canada, The Canadian Centre for Abuse Awareness, Corrections Canada, Male Survivor, and more, as well as many First Nations support centers." After spending 3 months in the wilds of South America, Jordon discovered the power of travel and adventure in his own healing and started the Kilimanjaro Expedition Challenge - where He climbed Mt.
