| Nirvana Now! Choosing Inner Peace For You |
Nirvana Now!, formally the African American Women’s Coalition, is a grass roots organization that was founded in 1989. At the time of inception, the primary purpose of the organization was to conduct crucial research on the African American woman’s experiences with incest and child sexual abuse. While engaged in this research, it became obvious that work in the areas of exposing the prevalence, consequences, and prevention strategies were direly needed. The name of the organization was changed in 1999 to reflect the inner struggle of African American women survivors and the consistent message received from individuals that inner peace was elusive in their lives. It is the organizations belief that until African American incest and child sexual abuse survivors begin and complete the journey toward "Nirvana" neither they, nor the African American community can be healthy. Nirvana Now! expanded the breath of services offered by the organization to included facilitation of survivor Discussion Circles for women of all backgrounds, publication of articles, training of professionals and caregivers, and a speaker’s bureau. Additionally, Nirvana Now!'s founder, CeCe Norwood, is a certified trainer for the Ohio Child Welfare Training Program where she trains parents, caregivers, daycare providers, teachers and professionals on a variety of child welfare issues associated with child abuse and neglect. |
