ADULT SURVIVORS OF CHILD ABUSE



ASCA Santa Clarita





ASCA Santa Clarita started in May 2011 and we have been meeting every other week for 13+ years. We are a peer-based support group following the Adult Survivors of Child Abuse (ASCA) program developed by The Morris Center (ascasupport.org) in San Francisco which has been running with much success since 1993 throughout the US and Internationally.


"The purpose of ASCA meetings is to allow survivors to share their abuse and recovery experiences, to receive support and affirmation for their recovery efforts to try out new, more adaptive behaviors and, in so doing, to better understand themselves and their recovery process"


ASCA meetings are for adult abuse survivors only, who are not currently perpetrating abuse on others or pets. Child abuse encompasses physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse and neglect.


Observers, friends, family or therapists are not allowed to attend our meetings unless they are also adult survivors of child abuse. In which case they will have to abide by our safety guidelines especially the no cross-talk rule and cannot refer to or talk about anyone else in the group. The focus would be on your own healing.


For more information, please view the video via button below which is a presentation by Dr. Patrick Gannon who is the creator of the ASCA program with the original leadership team and Bo, a survivor of child abuse.


Please download the free "Survivor to Thriver" manual via the button below which is the self-help 21 steps for healing from child abuse.
