Built on the principle that survivors are Experts by Experience, the forum facilitates mutual support.

The digital development of the platform operates within an agile framework, continuously adapting to meet the evolving needs of survivors. This online assistance offers a secure and anonymous space, with trained personnel guiding users to appropriate resources.
