LEWISTON — Breaking the cycle of sexual abuse will be discussed at Lifetree Café at 6 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 22.

The program features the filmed story of a woman who suffered childhood sexual abuse. “This brave woman’s story puts sexual abuse out on the table for discussion,” said Lifetree representative Travis Burleigh. “We’ll consider why the cycle of abuse in families is so difficult to break — and how those who’ve suffered childhood sexual abuse can find healing.”

Burleigh says this particular Lifetree Café program is not appropriate for young children.

Admission to the 60-minute event is free. Snacks and beverages are available. Lifetree Café is at South Lewiston Baptist Church, 1919 Lisbon Road.

Lifetree Café is a place where people gather for conversation about life and faith in a casual, coffeehouse-type setting. Questions about Lifetree may be directed to Travis Burleigh at 207-783-3316 or [email protected].
