About NAASCA and the SCAN radio show
If you’re a Child Sexual Abuse survivor or a CSA prevention or healing advocate, the National Association of Adult Survivors of Child Abuse (NAASCA) provides some exceptional resources that we recommend.
Although NAASCA serves adult survivors of all forms of child abuse, sexual abuse is one of their niches and they offer an array of resources for survivors, including:
- directories of online and local support groups,
- articles about abuse statistics and consequential behavioral and health issues,
- child abuse prevention resources,
- a weekly BlogTalkRadio show (SCAN – Stop Child Abuse Now) that airs several days per week with survivors, shakers and movers in the prevention and healing world, a panel of experts who participate on calls and the ability to call in live and ask questions or share comments about the days topic, plus
- a monthly newsletter that is packed with calendar highlights, resources and other helpful tips and information for both prevention and survivors.
