Oprah Winfrey Child abuser special, online

Unlike a lot of content from the Oprah Winfrey show, you can watch all of this interview in three sections and there’s none of the usual restriction to the United States. We’d highly recommend that you catch all of it as soon as possible and make up your own mind about the format of the show and whether it was worth it, though the selection of male abusers with solely female victims was, in my view, lazy. We’ll have to wait and see whether the planned interview with female perpetrators in a future show will feature offenders towards both genders.

Head over to the page and scroll down to the video selections to see all three segments which will continue into each other. If they have been moved then go straight to the Oprah.com index page and look through the general listings.

  • It’s Almost Like Mental Health is Complicated or Something

    Being more social and getting some exercise can help people feel better about themselves and improve their mental health struggles. It won’t fix everything, and we must stop pretending they will. If elite athletes can struggle with mental health, we can’t go around stigmatizing people dealing with depression as lazy folks who need a good workout, and we can’t tell someone who’s introverted and struggling with anxiety to meet more people and expect that will cure them. 

    It’s likely not going to cure them any more than a day in the grass would heal bipolar disorder or hallucinations. 

    That also doesn’t mean they are worthless endeavors. Having close connections and getting some exercise in nature are, generally, good things. 

    They aren’t a replacement for solid mental healthcare, though. Our mental health is a little more complicated than that.

  • Kids are Safer Online Than You Think

    A new study is telling us that things aren’t nearly as dangerous for children online, and that there’s no magic bit of technology that keeps them safe. In fact, it takes good parenting just as much as anything! The new report suggests that online threats that we fear most are not as prevalent as TV…

  1. I had the Oprah dot com window open on my computer for a whole day, but I haven’t been able to force myself to view it yet. I did view “Four Things You Need To Know” and found that helpful.

  2. Survivors Healing Center would like to thank Oprah for doing such a powerful show on a topic so prevalent, yet so seldom spoken about. Child sexual abuse affects one in every four girls, and one in every six boys. It is an epidemic in our nation, and the world, yet the topic is viewed as so stigmatized people are afraid to even speak the words aloud. For any survivors out there in need of support or assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact Survivor Healing Center at (831)423-7601, info@survivorshealingcenter.org
