Naasca

 I am the Massachusetts National Ambassador & Regional Director for the New England Area for Naasca. I use my title and my personal story The Unspoken Truth A Memoir as a platform to speak publicly about child abuse/safety and mental health illness/stigmas. I am a voice for the voiceless. It is through my personal experience that I bring awareness and educate people on these strong subjects.

NAASCA MISSION:

We have a single purpose at NAASCA, 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:

1) educating the public, especially as related to helping society get over its taboo of discussing childhood sexual abuse (CSA), presenting facts showing child abuse to be a pandemic, worldwide problem that affects everyone

2) offering hope and healing through numerous paths, providing many services to adult survivors of child abuse and information for anyone interested in the many issues involving prevention, intervention and recovery

Thanking you for all you do in the fight against child abuse and trauma and welcoming you to engage with your NAASCA family, I remain, as always,

Yours in service, Bill Murray , Founder and CEO

National Association of Adult Survivors of Child Abuse.

OUR HASHTAG

#metooCSA — Childhood Sexual Abuse -- Let's see if we can't get this new hashtag to trend,
to build on the popular '#metoo' movement that unfortunately leaves out those abused in their youth.
Childhood sexual assaults and abuses are devastating, and the trauma is often life-long! Pass it on!!

NAASCA AMBASSADOR PROGRAM

Ambassadors in their communities reach out to local organizations that address related issues: prevention of child abuse, supporting survivors, and promoting NAASCA's messaging and mission.

In addition, Ambassadors act as a guest and contributor to the monthly newsletter, radio show, social media, and content contribution.

Ambassadors may be speakers, share information, and be a resource to survivors and organizations that are local, regional, state, and national, to help guide and support survivors, leaders, and organizations seeking to educate, prevent, and support survivors.

This is not a job or paid position; it is solely a volunteer position and there is no required time constraint.

It is helpful for Ambassadors to support one another and it is also helpful to NAASCA to share what Ambassadors are doing in their local communities as well, through a monthly report.

The monthly report should be sent to Carol as Ambassador Coordinator. Carol will meet with Ambassadors monthly, to give them guidance and then Ambassadors can give each other ideas. Carol can do some filtering of people who want to be Ambassadors and those who do not. Ambassador's may be held accountable perhaps by filling out an application to become an Ambassador.

This NAASCA Global Ambassador project is a brand new tool for us, coordinated by Carol D Levine, NAASCA Vice-president who resides in New Jersey. Please contact her if you wish to be considered for one of the open positions.

How to Find Courage in the Dark: Ten Steps to Reaching Out

1. I understand that reaching out doesn't always come naturally. It may

feel awkward and difficult, and I can reach out anyway.

2. I accept the thought that reaching out is a sign of strength, not

weakness.

3. I can choose to fight to make my life better, even if it means borrowing

the strength of others until I am strong enough myself.

4. I begin to understand my rate of healing doesn't have to be compared to

others.

5. I can reclaim my worth by taking care of myself.

6. I can find safe places and people to be around.

7. I can fight negative thinking when I feel anxious.

8. I can write down ways to reach out that I feel comfortable with.

9. I can learn to respect my feelings and recognize this is an important

step to reaching out.

10. I recognize each day is a new chance to reach out for the support I

deserve.

Courage and fear are neighbors: you have to decide which one leads.
