 "CADI DAYS" GIVES CSA SURVIVORS 


SOMETHING TO SMILE ABOUT


 

ATLANTA (January 22, 2007) - For survivors of child sexual abuse (CSA),
happiness and healing can be hard to find. CADI DAYS (CADI is Irish for
"simple happiness"), created by Safe Girls Strong Girls founder Amy Barth,
gives teenage girls a chance to reclaim the joy of childhood in a creative,
nurturing and positive environment. Starting February 17 and running through
March 31, 2007, workshops will be held every Saturday from 10am-3pm at Sandy
Springs Christian Church.

 

CADI DAYS was created specifically to meet the unique needs of girls whose
lives have been traumatized by CSA. In company with their peers, and under
the guidance of experienced therapists Kelly McCarthy and Laurie A.
Sedicinio, girls discover the power of community as they enjoy expressive
arts and experiential learning. New friends are made, painful emotions are
released, coping skills are learned and girls leave with a new sense of
empowerment.

 

"CADI DAYS not only offers healing through fun and creative activities, but
perhaps, even more significant, fosters healing through the power of
community," says Ms. Barth. "Too often, CSA survivors have been shamed into
silence. Their secrets and isolation are a great hindrance to healing.
During CADI DAYS, girls realize that they're not alone, the abuse wasn't
their fault and they don't have to be silent any longer." 

 

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTORS

*	Kelly McCarthy is an art therapist working in Georgia with
individuals challenged by developmental delays, chronic illness, traumatic

ADMISSION

a community or private psychologist to determine suitability and then meets
with a Safe Girls Strong Girls representative to make plans for attending.
