Sunday, December 4th, 2011Upcoming Awareness Campaigns
Monday, November 28th, 2011I’ve been getting some information on upcoming child abuse awareness campaigns that I wanted to share with everyone here.
First up, Petra Luna, a musician/artist has declared Dec 1-8 as Male Abuse Awareness Week.
In her own words:
“Male Abuse Awareness Week December 1st through 8th is a campaign determined to represent male victims of child abuse. Together we can break the silence of boys and men being abused, and stress that THIS topic is as important as discussing the impact of child abuse on their female counterparts. The more people are willing to discuss this taboo subject, the more likely the young males who need treatment will be inclined to step forward and finally accept the help they need and deserve. For more information on the P. Luna Foundation and Male Abuse Awareness Week, go to help4guys.org.”
Secondly, TAALK is conducting their second TAALK-A_THON on Dec. 10-11:
We will host a 24 hour internet radio show with guest speakers each hour covering a variety of topics related to child sexual abuse awareness, prevention and support. Hear 40+ speakers from around the world with the brightest minds and the biggest hearts. It’s an event you won’t want to miss!
Check them both out!

Update on Weekly Links
Monday, October 31st, 2011You might have noticed that the past couple of weeks, I’ve posted a collection of links from various places as a post here. It’s actually an automated post, based on things I’ve seen around the web and wanted to share. A couple of notes about this:
1. Linking to something doesn’t necessarily mean an endorsement or recommendation. Typically, it’s something interesting that I think some of you might get something out of. Be it an article, a blog post, or a resource that someone suggested to me, my linking to it simply means, “hey I saw this and it might be interesting to think about”.
2. The links actually create a way for me to share some of the many, many things people send me through email, on Twitter, Facebook, or other places. Frankly, I get quite a lot of messages asking me to share this or that, or review a book, etc. I simply don’t have time to look at all of them, let alone respond to each and every one or write a blog post about each one too. This way, I can at least provide a link when that’s all I have time to do.
So, I hope the weekly link posts can provide some interesting things for folks to check out, but as with anything else, be careful out there. Use what is helpful for you in your healing, feel free to ignore the rest!
