child abuse trauma prevention, intervention & recovery |
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 with only two goals:
1) educating the public, especially as related to getting society over the taboo of discussing childhood sexual abuse, presenting facts showing child abuse to be a pandemic, worldwide problem that affects everyone
2) offering hope and 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 |

Our first-ever NAASCA webinar was a great success!
Thursday, March 26th, we held a day-long special event, our first-ever 'NAASCA Webinar' using the ZOOM platform. In the future it'll also stream to Facebook. It seems ZOOM is a fantastic additional tool for us!
We'll be sending out notices that announce future NAASCA-ZOOM webinars ( add yourself to the list here) .
The event commenced at 10am EST and lasted until 6pm EST. That was a full 8 hours .. but there was a lot to talk about, and many people to reach.
During the day about 15 to 20 NAASCA members joined at various times, coming and going as they needed or wished. Up to 100 people at a time can participate.
This time we
shared our experience, strength and hope in two basic areas:
It was lively discussion .. all day long !!

We agreed we could see this time where we're forced to hunker down as an opportunity. Those of us who are in recovery from child abuse have vast experience in isolation, depression, denial and fear. We certainly understand dealing with trauma.
People are being affected Globally, in numerous ways, and we are uniquely positioned as a Global effort of survivor-activists. We know ourselves to be only as 'separated' as we allow ourselves to be.
Everyone, survivor or not, needs our Outreach. Many are desperate for it.
This is a chance for NAASCA members to reach out even more often to those we can positively affect with our message, mission and web site .. that we are NOT alone. A day at a time, we will never have to wonder if we are wanted, needed or appreciated as members of the NAASCA family. It's a simple fact.
The majority of our work is done via phone and Internet, anyway, and from our homes! We connect by sharing on Facebook and other social media, by participating on our radio shows and using our contact pages.
You can even write or call someone and simply say, "I was just thinking of you." You will immediately brighten someone's day, and you'll make new friends at the same time.
Each of us knows scores of people, hundreds perhaps, who feel the loneliness and isolation of these trying times. But we can change that.
We are the lucky ones, because we never need to search for an opportunity to belong .. and to serve.
We'll be sending out notices that announce future ZOOM webinars, on any number of themes. All you'll need to do is click on the link we provide each time to join. It's simple!
Yours in love and service,
Bill

-- be aware .. be a voice .. be a hero -- |
#metooCSA -- Childhood Sexual Abuse -- Let's see if we can't get this new hashtag to trend,
to build on the popular ' #metoo' movement that unfortunately leaves out those abused in their youth.
Childhood sexual assaults and abuses are devastating, and the trauma is often life-long! Pass it on!! |
We're building a survivor community, because together we can do what we can not do alone.
We can all do Outreach. Become a NAASCA Volunteer !!
If you wish to volunteer with us, please get in touch with Jo Calk of Oregon: jclk123@outlook.com - 541 / 921-9435. She coordinates our volunteers and and can point a new volunteer in the right direction. With all there is to do, she'll find something for everyone. We believe each of us can play a role in educating the public .. and offering healing services to still-suffering adult survivors of childhood traumas !! |
