About this episode

Joseph Born shares his experiences with childhood abuse and its impact on his life, discussing mental health and cultural factors in Alaska.

Joseph Born, “Joe,” is joining us from the frozen lands of Alaska. Joe, who is half Alaska Native himself, shares how his early childhood abuse shaped his life and highlights the systems that failed to protect him.

Joe hopes to share with the world the unique aspects of CSA in Alaska – including its geography, cultural factors, and the ugly truth of intrafamilial abuse.
