New Mexico Chapter Serving those who have been sexually abused by priests, pastors, ministers, rabbis, nuns, brothers, deacons, and church/school employees/volunteers of any religious faith denomination (Catholic, Protestant, Jewish)
Welcome If you've been victimized by clergy, please know that you are not alone. You can get better. You can reach out to others who've been hurt just like you have. Together, we can heal one another. We offer support in person, (via monthly self-help group meetings in chapters across the country), over the phone, on line, and at twice-a-year national meetings. Our web site exists to direct you to those who will provide support and knowledge to all
victims of clergy abuse, to help educate the public, and to help ensure that in
future generations, children will be safe.
Web Site The New Mexico Chapter of SNAP has been assisting those whose abuse took place in New Mexico since 2002. This is the New Mexico web site for SNAP. Assistance is given to those who were abused in New Mexico. You may seek out other Regional or the National Chapter of SNAP through: www.snapnetwork.org
Peer-to-peer Support If you have been abused by someone in religious authority that is not Roman Catholic, please realize that SNAP has evolved to assist those from other faith-based denominations. We have supporters all over the United States and Canada who are thoroughly familiar with various religious leadership. They will be more than willing to assist those who have been abused by clergy.
Meeting Information Update 05/2009 At the present time there is negotiation being conducted for use of a meeting place for the Albuquerque Chapter of SNAP New Mexico. It should be completed in a week or two. There will be meetings in the near future for those living in the Santa Fe and Gallup areas. Those meetings would be held monthly on a Saturday to be determined. If there is enough interest, meetings will be scheduled every other month in the Las Cruces area. These peer-to-peer support meetings are available for YOUR use. If you are interested in meeting at one of the cities listed, please let me know.
