I’m New

[zelda1996]

I just came here from a Cosmo article. I’m a volunteer with A Voice For The Innocent, another site for survivors of sexual assault and abuse. I’m just trying to get used to things here and I would love to know how I can get involved. (If I can even get involved.) Thanks for welcoming me! I hope you guys have a great day.

Hi, @zelda1996  and welcome to AS! It’s a very supportive and welcoming community. I’m sorry for what happened to you, but glad you’re here. I’ve found this site to be very helpful in my healing journey.  You can speak to @Iheartcupcakes or @Capulet about getting involved here. Once you get to ten posts, you’ll have access to the Share My Story Forum. Take your time looking around and getting familiar with the site. Our chat room is down, but we recently added chat boxes until the chat room is up and running. You can message me any time!

Dear @zelda1996

Welcome to After Silence!!

I'm sorry for what you have been through.  I find it is easier to talk on forums then out loud.  Being here has helped me so much, even from the first time I ever posted.  It is still helping me - I have so much support here and I know you will, as well.  Here at AS, we are like a big family and our members are kind and non-judgemental.

I am sending you lots of safe hugs! 

Take care!
