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.

Nissi Hamilton: From Abandonment to Advocacy

“Part of my recovery was being with other survivors and listening to their stories and telling my story out loud, little by little, piece by piece, and being able to talk about it.”

Imagine being born into a world where you're abandoned at birth and left to navigate a life filled with trauma and uncertainty. That's the reality Nissi Hamilton faced. Born to an adolescent mother who was herself a victim of sexual trafficking, Nissi's early years were marked by neglect and abuse.

In this episode of 'Stop Child Abuse Now', Nissi takes listeners on a journey through her tumultuous childhood, including the harrowing experience of aging out of foster care and facing homelessness at just 15 years old. But Nissi's story doesn't end there. Today, she stands as a proud activist, motivational speaker, and life coach, teaching young girls and women how to break free from the cycle of poverty and human trafficking.

Her message is clear: community and support are vital for healing. Nissi's candid discussion about the power of sharing one's story and finding common ground with fellow survivors is both inspiring and empowering. She also delves into the ongoing fight against child abuse, advocating for stricter laws and better support systems for survivors. Join Nissi and the hosts of 'Stop Child Abuse Now' as they explore the importance of education, awareness, and community in the journey towards recovery.
