Stop Child Abuse Now (SCAN) - 2193

Tonight's special guest is Dr Jaime Romo from San Diego, California, returning NAASCA family member, survivor of child sexual abuse, and far overdue to re-appear on the show. Jaime is an educator, consultant, author, and Commissioned Minister, who promotes healing from abuse and the prevention of child sexual abuse, particularly abuse by religious authorities or in the context of religious settings. A workbook he wrote, Healing the Sexually Abused Heart: A Workbookfor Survivors, Thrivers, and Supporters, is an integration of various disciplines that led Jaime to become a certified Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR) facilitator, and soon to be certified TIR facilitator trainer. Jaime is the President of the Board of Directors for the Child-Friendly Faith Project, which envisions a world in which no child suffers abuse or neglect as a result of religious belief, doctrine, or practice. To that end, the CFFP shares knowledge and builds community around the issue of religious child maltreatment (RCM) and advocates for and empowers those whose lives are impacted by RCM. Jaime explains, “While it is no secret that I am a survivor of clergy abuse, it is the journey of integration, transformation and application that is most telling about my accomplishments and the life that I celebrate.” Please visit his website: http://www.jaimeromo.org.
