In his youth he experienced CSA (child sexual abuse) by clergy. Jaime advocates for adult survivors and child victims of religious child maltreatment by standing as allies and supporters in conversations and confrontations with religious institutions that perpetuate harm against them. Jaime is a long time active member of the NAASCA family, and leads the the Child-Friendly Faith Project is largely survivor-led and works at local, state, and national levels. We advocate for adult survivors and child victims of religious child maltreatment by standing as allies and supporters in conversations and confrontations with religious institutions that perpetuate harm against them. The hallmark of the CFFP public awareness campaigns work to raise awareness of dangerous religious practices that are pervasive in today’s America. Dr Romo wrote, 'Healing the Sexually Abused Heart: A Workbook for Survivors, Thrivers, and Supporters', an integration of various disciplines that led Jaime to become a certified Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR) facilitator. “While it is no secret that I am a survivor of clergy abuse," he explains, "it is the journey of integration, transformation and application that is most telling about my accomplishments and the life that I celebrate.” Please visit: www.jaimeromo.org.
