101: Architecture of Abuse

Natasha is joined by Jenny Elledge as they discuss a new podcast, "Architecture of Abuse":   'Architecture of Abuse' explores the widespread issue of child sexual abuse in Utah, with a focus on how the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has historically responded to reports of abuse within its community. Hosted by Alyssa Grenfell, alongside veteran attorney Tim Kosnoff, the series features conversations with survivors, clinical therapists, sociologists, historians, journalists, and researchers—some of whom are active LDS members.   Rooted in compassion and a call for accountability, 'Architecture of Abuse' examines the cultural and institutional forces that protect abusers and silence victims. We aim to equip listeners with a deeper understanding of this issue, offer resources for survivors, and invite meaningful change within the LDS community and beyond.   You can go here to listen to the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/architecture-of-abuse/id1816319575   Or here on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2NdR9oh1Vmbhfyey4bXCuz?si=6aa8a46115594da3 To help keep this podcast going, please consider donating at natashahelfer.com and share this episode.
