NAASCA Collaborates and Partners with Crime Survivors
Providing support and guidance to survivors
Our non profit, the National Association of Adult Survivors of Child Abuse, has a new collaboration with "Crime Survivors," an organization based in Irvine, CA.
Founded by
Patricia Wenskunas, who also serves as CEO, Crime Survivors was launched following her personal experience in 2002 with being a victim of assault with a deadly weapon, and with the frustration she felt as her case made its way through the justice system. |
The Crime Survivors non profit is most closely associated with its work in Southern California, but Patricia will be joining us on our radio show "Community Matters" as a Special Guest, where we'll focus on the aspects of survival that relate to issues of dealing with child sex abuse and associated crimes and injustices.
The surviving sisters of
Nicole Brown Simpson
are a part of Crime Survivors, and the organization has a terrific Board of Directors, Crime Survivors Council, Honorary Advisory Board and law enforcement partners. We look forward to their assistance.
We're delighted that Patricia has agreed to partner with NAASCA as we help provide solutions and solace for those who are victims of crime, as the Crime Survivors motto says, "All victims of crime have the right and responsibility to survive."
Here's a little but more about Crime Survivors and the excellent work they do:
