The latest episode of the Stop Child Abuse Now (SCAN) podcast features an engaging discussion led by Laurieann Smith and guest co-host Dr Jaime Romo. Dr Romo, an educator, consultant, and Commissioned Minister based in San Diego, California, is well-known for his efforts in promoting healing from abuse, particularly in religious settings. This episode offers listeners an open mic forum where they can call in to ask questions, share stories, and discuss various topics related to childhood abuse and recovery.
Laurieann begins by introducing the core mission of NASCA, emphasizing their commitment to addressing issues related to childhood abuse and trauma. NASCA's two primary goals are to educate the public about the widespread problem of childhood sexual abuse and to offer hope and healing through various support services and pathways. Dr Jaime Romo shares his insights on the emotional journey of survivors, reflecting on his own experiences and the transformative process of healing.
He discusses the importance of understanding the complex emotions that survivors face, such as anger, fear, and rage, and the role these emotions play in recovery. He emphasizes the need for societal change in how we perceive and talk about child abuse. Throughout the episode, Laurieann encourages listeners to get involved with NASCA as volunteers, highlighting the all-volunteer nature of the organization and the positive impact volunteers can have in supporting survivors.
The conversation touches on the significance of gratitude, especially during holidays, which can be challenging times for survivors. NASCA's commitment to hosting shows during holidays provides a vital space for survivors to connect and participate. Listeners are invited to join future episodes and engage with guest speakers like Dr Romo, ensuring that their voices and questions are heard in this supportive community.
