7. Yes, also as LadyHawk suggested in the other thread...

a host(s) will be needed. I'd like to nominate her if she's interested in doing it.

As far as a mission statement, I'd like to make sure it says both men and women. I'd like men to know they're as welcomed as women. Sometimes men feel like their not included in something like this. So, for me that would be important.

Also, I'm not sure how to word this, not very good at this, but family, spouses, partners etc that are helping a survivor could also use the resources and 'the shoulder' to lean on. They need help too, imo.

As to a mission statement, I'm not very good at writing things so I'll just put some ideas down and maybe people can add to them and someone that's better at writing than me can put it together.

This is a place where people can come for support whether for themselves or someone that they care for.

We will have resources.

No one will be judged or ridiculed EVER--with respect to their assault.

Please add to this.
