AVREMI ZIPPEL

You'd think a 'man of the cloth' should skate through adversity in life, no? After all, believing and being connected to something larger than yourself should give you all that you need in your darkest hour? Turns out, it's not always the case. In this presentation, ideally geared towards faith groups of all kinds, Avremi shares his journey of wondering if there truly is an answer to every question, and his journey to believe in Heaven when life hurts like Hell.

Survivors of CSA represent the entire spectrum of humanity, as they can be found in any and every community, the world over. By being able to show our children and ourselves positive examples of those that have survived CSA and gone on to live and lead healthy and productive lives, we are able to destigmatize the issue as it is perceived by society, and give survivors still in the shadows the inspiration and the courage to come forward, and join a brotherhood and sisterhood of defiance and determination.
