I have tried to keep the lists safe places for survivors to be able to talk to others in depth about their expereinces and worries. This can only happen though if people feel that they can trust the others on the list. With this in mind subscription is not automatic.
We have a new system whereby new members to some of the busier survive lists are added to the new members mailing list. This is a much smaller list, and it gives the moderators a chance to get to know people, and then ensure they are added to the most appropriate list for them where they will find the most support.
I do like to know a little about the person who wants to join, including what they hope to get from the list. Only when i am convinced that the person is genuine do i add them to the list. This is in everyones interest, and i know that those who are genuine will not be put off by this simple proceedure.
To speed up the process, when you click on the link below each list description to add your name to be subscribed to that particular list if you could follow the instructions in the joining mail that you are sent telling me a little about yourself it will make your subscription much quicker.
Survive-UK - Mailing
List
Survive-UK is a subsiduary list of the support mailing list Survive.
It is for *female* rape/abuse Survivors who are residents of the UK
and who would like the support, comfort and understanding of other
abuse survivors who are based in the same country. Hopefully we can
maybe help each other find the support groups in our own areas..
share how to deal with legal issues stemming from the abuse..compare
notes on how the judicial system works..plan meetings etc..
Basically a place where we can share ideas, feelings, emotions and
thoughts amongst people who are facing the same kinds of problems
and anxieties. Sometimes it is good to know you are not alone, and
that there are others experiencing the same frustrations.
Just click on the link below and follow the simple online
instructions.

teen-survive - Mailing
List
The teen survive lists are aimed at those rape/abuse victims aged between 11 and 18 who
would like to talk to others who are going through, or have been throught similar
experiences. We have split the lists into seperate ones for males and females as we found
that although some problems are the same many are different, and sometimes people
felt inhibited wiht members of the opposie sex present.
They are safe moderated lists where you can discuss some of the problems like how
to tell parents, teachers, where to go for help, how to cope with maybe having your
perpetrator in the same school even. Things that are fairly unique to this age group.
To join just click on the link below and follow the onscreen
instructions.

Survive-carers
This list is designed for relatives, friends, and significant others
who are trying to support and understand someone who is a rape or abuse
survivor.
Sometimes as a significant other it can be really hard to ask or even know
where to start asking for help.
It is important to realise that you too need support and understanding so
you can help someone you care about while they are healing from
their trauma. Hopefully this list will be a place where you can find
others in the same position, and can share experiences, ask questions
and just generally be a place to escape to when you feel you just can't
cope any more.

This is our newest addition to the survive lists.
It isspecifically created as a safe haven for those who have
inner children and who would like a place to talk to other
inners. It is for survivors of abuse. It is a strictly moderated
list, to ensure it is safe for even the youngest of the littles
to be able to join in.

Mens-Survive
An e-mail support group which is specifically for male survivors of rape and abuse.
Although it is true to say that there are many things in common that affect both male
and female surviors of rape and abuse, there are also some things that affect just men.
It can be a little bit intimidating to be the only male on a list with 50 women. So this
list is designed to be a safe place where any male who is a survivor can chat to
others who have suffered similar expereinces.
