This is what happens with sexual abuse. Its impact washes over nearly every aspect of who we are, potentially defining who we become
As the boyhood victim of two female predators, not only was the abuse dismissed - at times even encouraged - but it burdened me with confusion, self-loathing, addiction, and lifelong mental illness.
Silenced by Stigma will not only feature survivor accounts but will present conversations with researchers, mental health professionals, addiction counselors, sexual abuse attorneys, and special victims detectives- all to demonstrate that you’re not alone and there are people dedicated to your protection.
While the voices of the abused are often silenced, Silenced by Stigma is here to help you stand up and speak out.
