Stop Child Abuse Now (SCAN) - 1535

Special topic: NAASCA - the "family," the mission and how it works. We're building a survivor, activist, professional community because we believe that together we can do what we can not do alone ~~ Tonight's show will be dedicated to our organization .. our "family" .. itself. We have a single purpose at NAASCA, to address issues related to childhood abuse and trauma including sexual assault, violent or physical abuse, emotional traumas and neglect .. and we do so from two specific perspectives: (1) educating the public, especially as related to getting society over the taboo of discussing childhood sexual abuse, presenting the facts that show child abuse to be a pandemic, worldwide problem that affects everyone, and (2) offering hope for healing through numerous paths, providing many services to adult survivors of child abuse and information for anyone interested in the many issues involving prevention, intervention and recovery. We're quite proud of the nearly 30 FREE programs and services the National Association of Adult Survivors of Child Abuse (NAASCA) organization offers the global community that's fighting against child abuse and trauma. These projects are all the result of hard working volunteers and have been paid for out of their own pockets for several years. A description of many of these programs / services may be found listed on the HIGHLIGHTS page of the NAASCA web site: www.NAASCA.org/main.html ~~ Membership at NAASCA is simply a matter of self-declaring one's volunteer participation and agreement with our important cause. We describe ourselves as the "NAASCA family." Join us tonight to learn more about NAASCA !!
