Hello STRONGWILLED community!

While we’re in the middle of this series on sexual abuse in religious authoritarian communities and churches, we’re looking ahead to our next topic: a deeper dive on the long-term impacts of growing up with religious authoritarian parenting.

Since the beginning of STRONGWILLED, we’ve explored how this kind of parenting affects the children who grow up in it, as well as how RAP authors taught parents to treat kids during certain developmental phases. This next year, we’re going to be exploring the many different ways that this kind of parenting impacts how you relate to yourself, show up in relationships, and engage with the world. And we’d love your help!

Here’s the survey:
The Religious Authoritarian Upbringing Impacts Survey


We’d love for you to take this survey yourself, and then share it with someone in your life that might find it applicable. We’re hoping to gather responses both from our STRONGWILLED community, as well as those who grew up with religious authoritarian parenting that aren’t familiar with our work. Please share this far and wide (within your comfort level).

As always, much thanks to you all for your continued engagement and support in this project!
