About this podcast

Stop Child Abuse Now

NAASCA ORG

Monday to Friday's "Stop Child Abuse Now" (SCAN) feature trauma informed HOSTs and Co-hosts and respected child abuse prevention, intervention and recovery advocates. They're all volunteers members of the National Association of Adult Survivors of Child Abuse (NAASCA), a 501(c)3. Founded in 2009, NAASCA.org was originally a grassroots effort. It was launched based on our founder Bill Murray's personal life experienced. Bill wrote, "Very few adults escape years of severe childhood sexual abuse, pre-pubescent X-rated photography, sex trafficking, and a two week long kidnapping." He continued. "But I have, and for some 35 years I've been in recovery from its devastating effects." After years of operating as a grassroots effort, NAASCA became a public charity in 2015 .. a 501(c)3 .. but we receive no grants or outside support, and belong to no other organization. There are no dues or fees. Our MISSION is entirely self-sustaining through the volunteer contributions of our members. The single purpose is to address issues related to childhood abuse and trauma including sexual assault, violent or physical abuse, emotional traumas and neglect from two specific perspectives: 1) educating the public, and 2) offering hope for healing and services to adult survivors. There are now nearly 3000 BlogTalkRadio shows, podcasts in the ever-growing library. Join us five-nights-a-week (Mon to Fri), at 8pm EST (so 7pm CEN, 6pm MTN, 5pm PAC) for solution-oriented discussions about the many issues of child abuse and trauma. The shows always include panel discussions and call-in participation.

Felisha Johnson: Transforming Trauma into Triumph

“They deserve every great thing, and so I'm just happy that I'm able to be a voice and to be an advocate and to be a specialist to help trauma survivors live life outside of what has happened to them, and that doesn't have to define them or make them who they are.”

Ever wondered how someone can turn a childhood filled with pain into a mission of hope and healing? Meet Felisha Johnson from Miami, Florida. In this episode of 'Stop Child Abuse Now', Felisha shares her incredible journey from a troubled past to becoming a beacon of support for others. Abused by her uncle and stepfather, and labeled as a troubled child by her mother, Felisha was placed in foster care for ten years.

Despite these hardships, she refused to let her past define her future. At just sixteen, she emancipated out of the system and faced numerous challenges head-on. Through sheer determination, she embarked on a healing journey, transforming her trauma into triumph. Felisha founded the 'Heal Your Story' Foundation, aiming to help trauma survivors and at-risk youth build better lives.

This episode is not just about Felisha's story; it's a call-in discussion where survivor-professionals co-host and field questions from listeners, making it interactive and deeply personal. If you're looking for inspiration and practical advice on overcoming trauma, this episode is a must-listen.
