Growing Pains

by Leave a comment

As with any organization, the more services and resources we provide, the more room we need to grow. In expanding the “Together We Heal” website to meet the needs of survivors of childhood sexual abuse (CSA), we’ve come across an issue that our previous articles have broken links. The good news is we have a fix for it. And the better news is that all NEW posts won’t require this “fix”.

For folks looking for “The Abused Addict” article, here’s the one I posted last week with the new link.

The previous link was – https://together-we-heal.org/2013/01/25/the-abused-addict-the-ultimate-fight-updated-1242013/

When looking for any of our previous posts, and if you look at the example above, simply replace together-we-heal.org with togetherweheal.wordpress.com and keep the rest of the link, it will redirect you to the article. If you don’t want to do this, you have 2 options, either go to together-we-heal.org or togetherweheal.wordpress.com and click on the “blog” tab. From there you can find all of our articles still in tact.

We have created a new website to give more info and provide us with the means to add more resources. The only drawback is that the old links no longer work. As I post new articles they will work fine. Thank you for your patience as we are experiencing some growing pains. It just means we are able to help more survivors of childhood sexual abuse. But we’re sorry for any temporary inconvenience locating previously posted links. As I said, this won’t be an issue moving forward.

So please take advantage of the resources on our new site:

http://together-we-heal.org

And know our blog will always have all of the articles available as well:

We are here to help fellow survivors and their loved ones. We are here to help educate the public on all matters of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) and to help effect statute of limitation law reform on sex crimes against children. We are here to help provide counseling for survivors that either can’t afford it or that don’t have access to insurance to cover the costs. The bottom line, we are here for you and you are not alone.

In 2006 David took the first step in a long and painful journey back from the abyss of addiction and self-destruction. He promised his dying father that he would get clean. And he did. But as he cleaned his body and soul, he began to confront the sexual abuse that his addiction had for so long obscured — abuse perpetrated by a church youth minister when David was 12 to 15 years old. Those three years of abuse destroyed the foundation of love and faith that had been built by his family. For 25 years, David kept the abuse secret and lost himself in a fog of drugs and alcohol. He was by turns destitute, at times incarcerated. The promise to his dying father was the catalyst. And the bedrock of his mother’s love and devotion was the foundation on which David rebuilt his life. Therapy, 12-step meetings, and soul-deep determination were the bricks and mortar. David founded Together We Heal to provide fellow survivors and their families, guidance through the trauma of childhood sexual abuse. In 2015 he was asked to become a part of the Child Safeguarding Initiative team with GRACE (Godly Response to Abuse in the Christian Environment) to empower the Christian community through education and training to recognize, prevent, and respond to child abuse. David represents Together We Heal & GRACE across the country as a public speaker and instructor; teaching churches, schools, and families how to talk with their kids about sexual abuse, how to better identify predatory behavior, and how to properly respond to those harmed.
