Keeper Catran-Whitney

Hello NAME,

Have you ever wondered what trauma a brother experiences once he learns his sister has been sexually abused? You are not alone. Once the betrayal has been exposed, rarely, if ever, does anyone ask the brothers, "Are you okay? Do you need to talk? Is there anything you need?"

In the discourse on child sexual abuse, the trauma experienced by brothers is a seldom-touched subject. It's a rarity, if not a complete absence, in the conversation.

Keeper Catran-Whitney, a Los Angeles-born former singer, fitness enthusiast, and memoirist, offers a unique perspective. He shares the story of his family on the verge of music stardom when, in a ten-minute family meeting, he hears the words no brother expects to hear, the words no brother can prepare for. It is the story of a child sexual abuse survivor and a brother who realized too late that all his sisters had been sexually abused by their stepfather.

Keeper's book, "HELPLESSNESS: The Emotional Health Trauma Brothers Experience After We Learn Our Sisters Have Been Sexually Abused By Our Parents," is a groundbreaking work that shares, for the first time, the emotional burdens and challenges unique to brothers. It brings to light the trauma that is rarely discussed, elevating the voices of brothers around the world and enriching the discussion about victims of child sexual abuse. The book delves into Keeper's personal journey, his struggles, and his eventual healing, offering a unique perspective on the topic.

Keeper is the leading voice and is often called the subject matter expert in the child sexual abuse space when it comes to the trauma brothers' experience. He brings the brothers' voices into a conversation in which they are told they can't participate but are expected to answer for their non-participation.

Interviewing with Keeper will be an eye-opening, heart-pulling chat with a man who has not only witnessed abuse but has also been a direct victim. His emotional forty-year journey to find himself and reclaim the love of his sisters is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the bond shared by brothers and sisters.

We recommend the interview with Keeper be structured to cover various aspects of his journey and his book. We will start with his personal experiences, then move on to the impact of his book on the community, and finally, discuss the broader issues of child sexual abuse and the healing process. This structure will ensure a comprehensive and engaging discussion.

With his memoir, Keeper can talk about:
• Connecting with other brothers and men who are carrying their burden in silence
• Connecting with sisters and women to help them better understand their brothers' unspoken trauma
• Provide tips for survivors and families on how to heal wounds
• How sharing your story can not only heal but it can also help others realize new hope
• The long journey ahead for victims and the justice they can seek for themselves
