Stop Child Abuse Now (SCAN) - 021

Most abuse victims (men and women) hide the story of their experience well into adulthood. But that's often how recovery begins, one survivor talking to another. Anonymous calls and chat room participation are encouraged. But we hope those who have recovered will join Bill and co-host Jessica Stevens, both adult survivors of child abuse, for an informed discussion of the many important issues that surround child abuse. ~~ Please see www.NAASCA.org ~~ Our very special guest will be Laurie Ann Smith, Canada Regional Director and Chief Communications Officer for Dreamcatchers For Abused Children (www.DreamcatchersForAbusedChildren.com). Ms. Smith has a passion for raising awareness about the ongoing issues of child abuse, domestic violence and all human rights abuses. A twice published author, "A Life of Death: The Redemption (A True Story)" and "La Veta Juvies," Laurie volunteers at multiple charities, hosts a dozen BlogTalkRadio talk shows each week and plans to continue to speak publically about the issues surrounding child abuse, child abuse prevention and adult survivor issues due to child abuse.
