We are currently in the process of evaluating the use of online forum's to ensure as best we can that when the Survivors Manchester Forum goes live, it is as safe and secure for you, and us, as possible. In the meantime, we would like to suggest you look at the following sites that allow you to engage with other survivors, sometimes across the world. Only you will know if you want to sign up and use these forums, you are the only one that can assess if you feel safe enough to do so.

I use these forums myself and have took great comfort and strength in connecting with other male survivors. We hope that you get something positive from it too.
