It's a mental illness, though it's a crime.
What if your toughest challenges could become the fuel for your greatest triumphs? Rev. Hank McGrath knows this story all too well. Growing up in a poor Irish family in New York, Hank faced the harsh realities of life early on. With both parents battling alcoholism, he found himself navigating the dangerous streets of Pittsburgh by age 11, mingling with bookies and pimps. His journey took him through the juvenile detention system and later prison.
Yet, Hank's story is one of resilience and transformation. After decades of hardship and near-death experiences, he began confronting his childhood trauma. By the 90s, he was happily married, and after his wife's passing in 2001, he made a promise to fight for others facing similar struggles. Today, as a minister and community advocate, Hank shares his powerful story on this episode of 'Stop Child Abuse Now'.
Join him as he discusses the importance of mental health awareness, community resources, and the power of faith and self-esteem in overcoming trauma.
