Family of Survivors

At Awake, we recognize that abuse harms the entire community and can have an especially serious impact on the family members of the victim-survivor. Our mission includes walking with not only survivors themselves but also their loved ones.

We regularly hold online gatherings for family of those who have experienced sexual abuse in the Catholic Church. If this is something you might be interested in, please contact associate director Meghan Fiebelkorn at meghanfiebelkorn@awakecommunity.org.

You might also be interested in this recording from Awake’s Courageous Conversation series that features three family members of survivors of clergy abuse who now work for change and healing in the Church. (This post on the Awake blog also offers a summary of the event.)
