New Mexico Chapter Serving those who have been sexually abused by priests, 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 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.
Meetings The New Mexico Chapter of SNAP does not currently have meetings. However, as interest grows in having regularly scheduled monthly meetings, accommodations will be made to facilitate meetings in either or both Albuquerque and/or Santa Fe. Please contact Steve Rabi at (505) 280-3369 for further information.
Web Site The New Mexico Chapter of SNAP assists those whose abuse took place in New Mexico. You may receive information regarding other Chapters by going to www.snapnetwork.org . Most States have Chapters and can address your concerns regarding abuse that took place outside of New Mexico. The exceptions to the above statement are those individuals who were abused in New Mexico when the present Diocese of Las Cruces was part of the Diocese of El Paso, Texas, or those instances where abuse took place in the Diocese of Gallup, New Mexico on Native American land, specifically the Navajo Nation that extends into Arizona and is part of the Gallup Diocese. If this applies to you, contact this New Mexico Chapter.
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. At the present time, emphasis is being placed on these religious denominations (not inclusive list): Baptists, Episcopalians, Seventh Day Adventists, Church of the Latter Day Saints (Mormons), Lutheran, Jewish, and many others.
This web site is NOT current due to problems beyond the control of the webmaster. Please be patient while the problems are addressed. Thank you.
