In classical Greek, "askios"
means "shadowless".
Askios (pronounced a-SKEE-os)
is a self-help program I started in March 2003 for adult survivors of childhood abuse and trauma. It's based on an American
program ASCA (Adult Survivors of Child Abuse) developed by The Morris Center, California.
Within Askios, we have a safe,
supportive and confidential environment that frees us from our sense of isolation. Here, we develop skills, share our pains
and our strengths, and learn how to move forward from the childhood experiences that have held us back so long.
At the moment there is one Askios
group for women survivors, that meets weekly.
