Welcome to Survive's newest addition Survive's Support Message Board It isn't meant to replace the e-mail support and discussion list, but rather to complement it.
If you would like to contribute anything please just click on the web forum icon and type away. If you think anything you write is going to cause someone else to "trigger a flashback" or a bad memory please can you place a warning message in the subject title.
You can either reply to an existing post, or create a new thread. Hopefully it will become a very popular place for people to use as a help and advice support network.
You may not feel like contributing anything, but just want to see what it is all about, or to read what is written there. That is fine too. Just click on the Bravenet icon and you can then view the different postings by just clicking on them. The subject of each post is shown in the title rather than the whole post being readily available for everyone to view immediately. This protects people who may be triggered by some of the material included. It also means that you don't have to wade through numerous posts each time you want to look at the board. You can just pick what you want to read, with no obligation to reply even.
It is primarily for rape victims/survivors and their friends families and partners, but others looking for advice are quite welcome to use it too.
Already there is a poem, a couple of stories aimed at being a survivor with a strong supportive feel to them, a request for information and supportive messages. I'm sure once people realise it is there for them they will feel they can use it as often as they wish.
Rape fantasies and the like will be removed. This site is not the place for them and they will not be tolerated.
