Stop Child Abuse Now (SCAN) - 2238

Tonight's special guest is Deb Maybury, a returning NAASCA family member who's last visit was in 2014! Deb is a survivor of abuse by "trusted others" and is a speaker, activist and facilitator at The Gatehouse in Toronto, and author of "Unlock The Door-Beyond Sexual Abuse" and "What Is Your Teenage Daughter Afraid Of?" She describes herself as an entrepreneur – a woman of many hats – who's focus is on assisting others in their healing process, through awareness, support and connection. It is her mission to be part of the movement to remove the stigma and taboo associated with sexual abuse and to do that in a way that promotes a healing. Deb's been busy! Since her visit in 2014, she did a short film on child sexual abuse and an album: Vulnerable Places-Deb Maybury.Listen@cdbaby. Deb went back to school to become a Spiritual Psychotherapist, and teaches the Sexual Abuse and Incest courses part-time at the Transformational Arts College. She continues to volunteer at The Gatehouse, where people go to heal beyond their child sexual abuse. Deb's website, debmaybury.com, features creative projects which, Deb says, is her “journey in self-expression and helping others ... I do the best I can, with what I have, at the time ... and that's OK.” In memory of the passing of her dearest friend in 2006, Deb continues “to strive to learn, teach, and challenge myself and others." Deb has certainly kept her promise and is an excellent representative of the NAASCA family and mission.
