Since its adoption as a first aid method, the Heimlich Manoeuvre has saved untold numbers of lives around the world. Developed by American physician Dr Henry Heimlich as a way to save choking victims from dying, his manoeuvre would become famous just weeks after it was written about in a medical journal. But as well as his namesake manoeuvre, Heimlich was responsible for several other medical innovations throughout his life.Ashley Byrne hears from Janet Heimlich, one of Dr Heimlich's children.A Made In Manchester/Workerbee co-production for the BBC World Service.(Photo: Dr Henry Heimlich demonstrates the Heimlich manoeuvre on host Johnny Carson in 1979.

For some, religion serves as a community, a place of support. It can serve as a common identity shared among family members or a set of beliefs one has held since childhood that governs their lives. For others, religion is a source of pain and shame, a place they feel shunned and unwelcome or even unsafe. Religious trauma syndrome (RTS) is a set of symptoms and characteristics that tend to go together and which are related to harmful experiences with religion.

Parenting Beyond Belief is a live internet show airing every Saturday at 1 PM Central hosted by Clare Wuellner, Mandisa Thomas, Dale McGowan, Jan Heimlich, and Kendall Hopkins, focusing on raising children from a secular perspective. Parenting Beyond Belief is a production of the Atheist Community of Austin.The Atheist Community of Austin is organized as a nonprofit educational corporation to develop and support the atheist community, to provide opportunities for socializing and friendship, to promote secular viewpoints, to encourage positive atheist culture, to defend the first amendment principle of state-church separation, to oppose discrimination against atheists and to work with other organizations in pursuit of common goals.
This is a recording of the Q&A from the Austin Texas screening of Cut. Janet Heimlich, author of “Breaking Their Will: Shedding Light on Religious Child Maltreatment” was our special guest.
Janet Heimlich is the founder of the Child-Friendly Faith Project, and author of Breaking Their Will: Shedding Light on Religious Child Maltreatment, both of which examine child abuse and neglect that is enabled by religious belief in the United States. Janet is also a reporter who has worked for NPR and written for a variety of publications. (Full disclosure, I'm on the advisory board for the Child-Friendly Faith Project.) I spoke with her about the way children suffer at the hands of religion, whether teaching kids about Hell constitutes abuse, and what atheists can do to help.
Religious, cultural, and spiritual beliefs and faith communities can be a great source of comfort, strength, and inspiration for young people and adults. Unfortunately, religion can also carry an unrecognized shadow side, resulting in the harmful misuse of power. Oftentimes people in recovery must heal painful childhood experiences with religion in order to develop a genuinely nurturing spiritual life. Special guest Janet Heimlich is the founder of the Child-Friendly Faith Project, which partners with faith communities in their efforts to ensure that religious and cultural teachings and practices are nurturing for children and do not cause harm. Janet is an award-winning journalist and the author of Breaking Their Will: Shedding Light on Religious Child Maltreatment. She shares what child-friendly faith is and why it matters.

Is this a healthy approach to child-rearing and the discipline of children?This is the second part of our 2-part broadcast on (often religiously-motivated) corporal discipline for children, where we hear more of our listeners' perspectives, examine more of the data supporting or refuting the effectiveness of spanking, and we speak with Janet Heimlich, author of the book "Breaking Their Will: Shedding Light on Religious Child Maltreatment."

Janet Heimlich is an award journalist and former freelance reporter for NPR. She is the president of the Child-Friendly Faith Project and the author of Breaking Their Will: Shedding Light on Religious Child Maltreatment. She speaks with me about how religion has been used to justify and excuse mistreatment of children. From medical neglect to corporal punishment to emotional abuse, religion can serve to harm children. We can make a difference by breaking the silence.
In this revealing, disturbing, and thoroughly researched book, Janet Heimlich takes an in-depth look at many forms of child abuse and neglect as they manifest themselves in a religious context. They include biblically-prescribed corporal punishment that aims to "break a child's will"; terrorizing children with frightening religious messages; sexual abuse perpetrated by religious authorities; and faith healing-related medical neglect.
