Craig Heiting is a survivor or childhood sexual abuse and an experienced media executive, leading two start-up companies to successful events (one being purchased and one IPO). Along with his daughter, Craig wrote a stage play, "Guilt", about the implications of keeping one's abuse hidden from their loved ones and themselves. Craig helped found the men's division of VoicesBeyondAssault.org and serves as its co-chair, hosting a monthly podcast spotlighting survivors and therapists in an effort to shed light and educate others about male CSA, and also serves as a Board member of the non-profit organization. Craig has four children and resides in the Los Angeles area with his wife, Janie.
Craig talks about his contemplating suicide and the suicides of others. If you are experiencing feelings of suicide or you know someone who is, please contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline in the US (in other countries, reach out to your local suicide prevention hotline) available 24/7 to provide free, confidential emotional support to people in suicidal or emotional distress.
