Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Subscribe to the newsletter, or read the free reporting guides. Survivors who want to learn about the Survivor Connection can leave a message through the site's Get connected page..
Check with the group before you show up.
What to expect
The group does not run regular meetings or drop-in sessions. The site's ways in are reading its guides, subscribing to the newsletter and going to announced events. Survivors who join the directory first complete an introductory workshop on trauma, media literacy and public health.
Tips for your first visit
- Subscribe to the newsletter to hear about events, since they are announced there and on the site.
- Journalists can register on the site to search the survivor directory and map.
- If you are a reporter, start with the reporting toolkit, the site's most visited resource.
Newcomer welcome
Takes some effort for newcomers (2 out of 5). Why we say this: The guides and newsletter are open to everyone, but the site describes no volunteer, membership or meeting path, and it does not say how to book the survivor workshop..
