Awake Milwaukee is a great resource for survivors, including those who have been harmed as adults.

Thank you for posting this Linda! I don't remember how I came across natesmission, however their credentials look suitable enough. While Wisconsin is thankfully heavily Catholic, the state also has a high rate of alcohol abuse, go figure. Sexual abuse is everywhere but due to personal reasons and hopefully in the spirit of Saint Peter Damian, I firmly believe that if clerical sexual abuse isn't promptly addressed and healing offered to the victims by any means necessary, the Gospel will be lost to generations of new Catholics and prayers may cease for those still suffering or already passed.

Thank you for saying this Linda. Awake is always happy to connect with those who have experienced sexual abuse by Catholic leaders, no matter what age that abuse took place. I'm grateful for the Pillar's continued attention to the abuse of adults.
