It is said that the best teachers are those who have lived and experienced the subject they are in charge of teaching. That is certainly true of situations that mold our lives and make us who we are as adults. When an organization is looking for someone to do a presentation regarding the cycle of violence they may be looking to find child abuse speakers who have lived the cycle and survived.
When exploring their histories you will find that they endured the worst kind of treatment at the hands of their parents or other care givers. Children of abusive parents learn how to survive at a very young age. Many suffer beatings, starvation, emotional and even sexual mistreatment and develop strategies for survival that serve to shelter them emotionally and sometimes prevent the mistreatment from happening.
Some children are removed from their abusive homes only to find themselves placed in an even worse situation in the foster care system. The abusive treatment may come from neighbors, siblings, aunts or uncles or step parents. These people make certain their victims will not speak of their plight using threats and intimidation so many times the victims are grown adults before they speak of the abuse they suffered.
Some survivors go on to be abusers themselves and perpetuate the same treatment on children or spouses of their own. Others use their life experiences to help others who may be in the same or similar situations. These individuals have been fortunate enough to find help with understanding what has happened to them and to channel that knowledge into programs designed to help others.
Through counseling, inner strength and visions of a better future they are able to motivate the people in their audiences to overcome the disaster of the past and strive to set and meet goals of their own. The abuses inflicted on children are many times carried forward into their entire lifetime and can create crippling obstacles to be overcome.
These individuals have learned to turn tragedy into success by working on the strengths and self reliance they taught themselves as children. With these skills they have become more literate and have developed a program designed to support others while they create a life that makes a difference to themselves and their community.
Many speakers use this knowledge to educate police and other protective agencies by doing presentations at special training events or conferences attended by social services workers throughout the nation. This problem is one of the invisible crimes that takes place at home where no one is a witness except the victims. Through their insight they hope to offer new solutions for those involved in preventing this problem. One invaluable service they can provide is helping to identify red flag behaviors that protective agencies may not be aware of in children or family dynamics.
The goal of these advocates is to help stop the cycle of violence in families around the world. They share their stories with their audiences and help others to find solutions to their own private dilemmas. They believe that they have an obligation to those still suffering abuses to speak for them when they cannot speak for themselves.
