Survivors
Survivor Community – A Private Peer Support Space
Welcome
This is a private, survivor-only peer community created for people who have experienced sexual violence and need somewhere safe to speak, connect, and not feel alone.
You are welcome here.
You are believed.
You do not need to explain or prove what happened to you.
This space exists because many survivors are being harmed again by unsafe platforms, public disclosure, and systems that fail to protect them. This community is designed to reduce harm — not create more.

The Purpose of This Space
The Survivor Community exists to provide:
- A private place to talk with other survivors
- Peer connection without pressure to share
- A space to say “today was hard” and be understood
- Community without exposure, surveillance, or risk
This is a place to sit alongside others, not to be analysed, fixed, or judged. Think of it as a quiet coffee shop without the coffee —but you can bring your own.

What This Space Is
- A peer-led survivor community
- A private, non-public environment
- A place for shared experience and mutual respect
- A space you can enter, leave, or observe without obligation
You do not have to post to belong here.

What This Space Is Not
To keep everyone safe, this community is not:
- A therapy service
- A substitute for professional support
- A space to seek justice, investigations, or legal outcomes
- A place to name, identify, or expose alleged perpetrators
- A place for crisis support or emergency intervention
Participation in this community does not create a therapeutic relationship with me.
If you are seeking therapy or one-to-one support, this is available through a separate and clearly defined route on this website.

Safety, Privacy & Boundaries
This community is private so that survivors are not placed at further risk.
Confidentiality
- What is shared here stays here
- Screenshotting, copying, recording, or sharing posts or comments outside this space is not permitted
- This includes sharing content on social media or with third parties
Any breach of confidentiality will result in removal from the community.
This boundary exists to protect survivors from harm, retaliation, and further trauma.

Content & Sharing Guidelines
You are welcome to speak about your experience.
However, to protect others in the community:
- Please avoid graphic, explicit, or step-by-step descriptions of sexual violence
- Use general language where possible
- Be mindful that other survivors may be triggered by detail
If you feel you need to share in depth, a therapeutic setting is more appropriate and supportive.
You are encouraged to:
- Use content notes where relevant
- Respect that others may step back from certain discussions
- Share only what feels safe for you
---
Community Conduct
To keep this space safe and supportive, the following are non-negotiable:
- No blaming or shaming of other members
- No directing anger at other survivors or moderators
- No pressuring others to share, disclose, or take action
- No encouragement to go public, name perpetrators, or “expose” anyone
- Respect for differing limits, experiences, and coping styles
Strong feelings are understandable. Harmful behaviour is not. Members who are unable or unwilling to follow these standards will be removed.

My Role in This Space
I am the founder and facilitator of this community.
My role is to:
- Set and uphold boundaries
- Protect the safety of the space
- Moderate when necessary
I do not provide therapy, clinical guidance, or one-to-one support within this community group space .
At times, I may gently suggest that someone would benefit from therapy or additional support. This is not a judgement — it is about ensuring people receive the right kind of care in the right setting.

A Final Word
This space exists because survivors deserve somewhere to speak without being punished for telling the truth.
You do not have to carry this alone.
You do not have to be silent.
And you do not have to make yourself vulnerable to be heard.
Welcome.
