Yes ICAN break the cycle

New Spanish Chat Group

In a continuing effort to reach survivors of child abuse on a larger scale, the International Child Abuse Network (Yes ICAN) is launching a new Spanish speaking online support group on Tuesday from 17:30 - 19:30 Pacific Time for survivors of abuse.   In addition we have added several English speaking support groups throughout the week.  These groups are led by trained facilitators and are free of charge. 


"Our support groups in general are growing," said Sue Meier, Executive Director for Yes ICAN. "As long as the need is there, we will continue to provide our services free of charge.  With so many other programs having to close their doors, we welcome those who need support."


Just click on facilitated chat and check out the schedule and join us at our next facilitated chat.


Thanks!

A great big "Thank you!" to everyone who turned out for our annual Strike Against Child Abuse to Spare the Kids bowling fundraiser. Everyone had a great time and helped us to carry on our mission to Break the Silence and Cycle of Abuse. Special thanks to the 501st Stormtrooper Legion. Everyone enjoyed seeing their favorite Star Wars characters.
