A new multi-part podcast by grantee Sara Ganim for Meadowlark Media and Advance Local explores the story of Shawn Sinisi, a victim of Jerry Sandusky’s sexual abuse, and takes listeners into the world of addiction rehabilitation, where trauma-informed therapy is scarce, resources shame addicts for their medical issues and there is little regulation for the institutions dolling out healthcare. In the post-Me Too era, when society is quick to celebrate consequences for abusers, the podcast highlights how it continues to fail to adequately address the needs of the victims.
