Ever wondered how someone can rise above the most harrowing experiences and turn them into a mission to help others? In this episode of 'Stop Child Abuse Now', Felisha Johnson from Miami, Florida, shares her remarkable journey.

This episode also features a survivor-professional co-host who fields questions from listeners, diving into topics like peer support, the struggles of foster care youth, reactive attachment disorder, and the importance of setting boundaries.
The conversation underscores the critical need for safe spaces and empathetic listening for survivors. Tune in for an episode filled with resilience, hope, and practical advice for those on their own recovery journeys.
