We are a family and we call ourselves the nasca family, because that's how we try to operate, with support and understanding and assistance.
Imagine having a safe space where you can ask tough questions about child abuse, trauma, and healthy human sexuality. That's exactly what this episode of 'Stop Child Abuse Now' (SCAN) offers. Hosted by the National Association of Adult Survivors of Child Abuse (NAASCA), this open forum invites listeners to call in and join a panel of survivor-professionals.

Topics range from the challenges of reporting child abuse to local authorities, to the critical role that community organizations play in prevention efforts. The episode also dives into the grooming tactics used by predators and the various support systems available for survivors. One standout moment is when a survivor-professional highlights the importance of raising awareness through promotional tools, stressing that open dialogue is key to understanding and preventing abuse.
As one panelist puts it, 'We are a family, and we call ourselves the NAASCA family because that's how we try to operate—with support, understanding, and assistance.' If you're looking for an episode that combines empathy with actionable advice, this one is a must-listen.
