Our founder, Peter S. Pelullo, survived childhood sexual abuse and carried the invisible wounds for decades.
After beginning his own recovery journey, he realized how few resources existed for adult survivors.
Determined to create the support he never had, he founded the Let Go…Let Peace Come In Foundation to help survivors access specialized therapy and to break society’s silence around CSA. He is an advocate and public speaker.
As part of his recovery, Peter published a book about his story:
Betrayal and the Beast: One man’s journey through childhood sexual abuse, sexual addiction and recovery!
(available on Amazon)
Currently in Kindle format as paperbacks are being reprinted.
