We have a single purpose at nasca: to address issues related to childhood abuse and trauma, including sexual assault, violent or physical abuse, emotional traumas and neglect, and we do so with only two goals: one, educating the public, especially as related to helping society get over its taboo of discussing childhood sexual abuse.
Picture a childhood marked by chaos, danger, and survival on the streets. This is the early life of Rev. Henry (Hank) McGrath, the special co-host of this episode of 'Stop Child Abuse Now'. Growing up in a tumultuous environment with alcoholic parents, Hank's journey led him through the rough streets of Pittsburgh, juvenile detention, and even prison. But this isn't just a story of hardship; it's one of transformation and hope.
In this episode, Hank opens up about his incredible journey from a troubled youth to a dedicated advocate for child abuse survivors. After losing his wife to cancer in 2001, Hank made a promise to fight for others facing similar struggles. Today, he serves as a minister and an active community member, working with organizations like the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
The episode is an open forum where listeners can call in with their questions, making it an interactive and engaging experience. Hank and the host discuss various topics, including overcoming learned helplessness, the role of spiritual and mindfulness practices in healing, and the potential benefits of medicinal plants in therapy. They also emphasize the importance of educating children about their rights and the power of community support in the recovery process.
If you're looking for a story that combines raw honesty with inspiration, this episode is a must-listen. Hank's resilience and dedication to helping others shine through, offering hope and practical advice for anyone on their own recovery journey.
