Online Support Community for Healing and Recovery

Our peer support forums provide a safe space for survivors of rape, abuse, and trauma to connect with others who understand. Join our online support community to share experiences, ask questions, and find understanding in moderated discussion spaces covering topics from healing and recovery to daily life and coping strategies.

Please read first

The first time you enter the forums, you will need to register for a name. You must enter a valid email address. All of our forums are restricted to registered members.

Survivors Chat is for survivors and their supporters only. Please, no requests for research.

Self-care is the most important rule on our site. If you aren't feeling up to reading a post, don't. Make sure you take care of yourself and keep yourself safe.

Respect is absolutely vital. It's ok for us to disagree, as long as it is done in a tactful manner. This is not a place of judgement. We are all equals - survivors trying to make our lives the best they can be.

The rest of our guidelines are listed here. All members must read these guidelines.

Please remember, above all, the admins and moderators here are not professional counsellors. If you are in crisis, contact a professional, a hotline, someone that is trained. Before you start reading posts, make sure you have a plan for handling triggers.
