Here are some comments from previous conference attendees. This is only a few of the comments we received. It felt very empowering to be in a room filled with survivors and pro-survivors, esp. I was also surprised by how safe I felt there, which was a reason I had hesitated to come. Although I personally don't believe there can be any guarantees of safety, anywhere, this conference felt far safer to me than other services I've come across that were oriented towards survivors.
Nothing can substitute, imho, for being in a room with other survivors who are healing.
It was both inspiring and comforting to hear the survivor speakers. And it was encouraging to hear the professionals who are seriously addressing this type of abuse. I have learned a great deal and connected with some wonderful people. I have been alone in my journey for so long, I was beginning not to believe myself. I am no longer alone, and I now know many who believe.
