Welcome to Courageous Healers Foundation
OUR FOUNDER RANDY BOYD
Welcome everyone and thanks for visiting. I am hopeful that you might find some of the answers you have been looking for about yourself, who you are and why you might be feeling "Less Than" as a man or young boy; women or young girl? Is your self esteem in question? Do you have low or no self esteem? Do have over whelming feelings of shame arising from no where and for no apparent reason? Do you have a hard time engaging in a general conversation with people at a social gathering because you have no self worth, you feel your opinions and words are empty and meaningless? Do you have a hard time interacting with other men and women or for boys and girls with other boys and girls? These are just a few of the signs I know of that can put a red flag up for some form of abuse. While our main focus is on sexual abuse, emotional, spiritual, physical and verbal abuse can be equally damaging to the human Psyche. And if you are like me and have experienced a combination of all of these abuse issues, it is devastating. It is important to know that I am not a licensed professional and I do not have a PHD as of yet. I am however a Licensed Drug and Alcohol counselor, a Certified Trauma Informed Transformational Life Coach and I have an AA in Psychology. Most importantly I do have a PH-DO in life . So when I speak, I am speaking from what I have learned about myself in talking with Professional therapist over the years as well as working and talking with men that have suffered from the abuse at the hands of someone they were taught to trust, rather the perpetrator was a male or female does not matter, it's all abuse.

Help us get CA SB145 Bill Amended
This bill puts our children at risk to be groomed and preyed upon, without the consequence of mandatory registration, as long as the predator is within a 10 year age gap. That means a 24 year old can have sex with a 14 year old, as long as it’s consensual and potentially not have to register as a sex offender. The legal age of consent in CA is 18, so this bill shouldn’t have verbiage stating that a 14 year old can consent. There is absolutely no reason that a 24 year old should be having sex with a 14 year old, period. We are proposing that the age gap be reduced to a maximum of 3 years, with a mandatory registration on the sex offender registry, for anyone guilty of more than the 3 year gap. We need stricter regulations, to aid and protect our children from potential sex offenders. Please sign the petition below!
