Sexual abuse examined at Lifetree

The program will feature the filmed story of a woman who suffered childhood sexual abuse. “This brave woman’s story puts sexual abuse out on the table for discussion,” said Lifetree representative Craig Cable. “We’ll consider why the cycle of abuse in families is so difficult to break — and how those who’ve suffered childhood sexual abuse can find healing.”
