Non-Profits Join Forces To Help Victims Of Child Sexual Abuse And To Educate The Public On This Topic
Later this month, multiple non-profit organizations will gather to present an open forum to educate the public and to address issues surrounding child sexual abuse:
- Recent events have caused a sharp increase in public interest in the unseemly matter of child sexual abuse
- This event is designed to meet the increased need for information, to answer questions about how to recognize the signs of child sexual abuse, to understand the current laws and statutes of limitations, and what to do if one suspects a child may be at risk
- A panel of speakers will include victims/survivors, advocates, mental health professionals, and counselors; an emphasis will be made to identify resources for victims and survivors to get help, and for the public to make a difference in preventing future abuse; each of these group’s statements will be followed by Q&A from the audience.
When: Sunday, September 29, 2019 2:00pm – 4:00pm
Where: MidPointe Library West Chester, 9363 Centre Pointe Drive, West Chester, OH 45069
Panelists will include representatives from the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP), Greater Cincinnati Voice of the Faithful (Cincinnati VOTF), Connections: A Safe Place, and the Family Nurturing Center.

Winter Appeal 2023
To our friends,
2023 has been a long year with many ups and downs for us all. As we close out the year, we at SNAP hope that you are feeling like you are on your way to being healthy, fulfilled, and happy. This past year has brought both successes and challenges. Thanks to the support you have shown in the past, we’ve been able to celebrate the good days and weather the stormy ones. Now, we are once again asking for your support as we work to support survivors new and old as we ‘Move SNAP Forward.’
At SNAP we are proud to have hosted a very well-attended conference in August 2023. This event allowed us to gather friends, survivors, advocates, and allies for a weekend of camaraderie and connection. We were so happy to be able to welcome many first-time attendees to gather in person and are already looking forward to the next conference.
To strengthen our movement for justice, healing, and prevention, SNAP will be expanding our peer support and providing more volunteer opportunities in the coming year. Through this great work, we are ensuring survivor voices are represented as we work for significant change that will benefit children and survivors.
Right now, survivors worldwide are getting the help they need from SNAP, and more and more reach out to us daily, but we need your help to keep those programs going and get our volunteers the training they need to thrive.
Your tax-deductible gift to SNAP can help offset the cost of our important mission. If you are not in a position to contribute, you can still support us by sharing this letter with those who can. As we continue to fight for survivors across the globe, your donation or sharing the great work SNAP does will help us continue our work to protect the vulnerable, heal the wounded, and prevent abuse.
Your donation ensures SNAP will be there for those who need us more than ever!
Warmly,
Michael W. McDonnell, C.P.S.
Interim Executive Director
