Hello Lisa7! You can call me Wanna

I am so glad you decided to reach out to our community. AS offers a safe place for survivors to connect. You decide what to share here and when. We all carry our unique stories, but we so often relate to each other here. Getting to know other survivors can make you feel less alone, as you tend to your journey of healing. You can talk about basically anything here, trauma related or just plain life. Whatever is on your mind, really. Please know, we believe you

Please check your inbox for your extended welcoming. You can contact me or any staff member of choice with questions, thoughts about the platform, or for a little chat. 

All best, W 🔆

Hi welcome friend

Hello, @Lisa7, welcome to AS! 

I remember the “reluctant but curious” feeling … joining AS was a slightly overwhelming experience for me, but I’m glad I did it.

Please take your time to browse around. There is no pressure here, so take your time to read and then, when you’re ready, post as feels safe for you.
