Update on the Survivors Network

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Just thought I would post a quick update on the Survivors Network, which continues to grow! There are now480 members, and though their participation comes and goes as life sometimes gets in the way of being online often, there’s still plenty of new discussions and posts that have been made recently.

Also, I added a new feature called NewsShare, which allows any and all members to submit links to news stories, blog posts, or any other thing they want to share with the network, in one easy step. If you haven’t been in awhile, go check it out, and if you want to share some good online reads, feel free to submit some links!

Also, I wanted to note another milestone, as the Facebook fan page for this blog went over 100 fans within the last week. Franky, that’s quite a few more than I ever thought there would be, and it’s been great connecting and hearing from some new folks over there as well. If you’re a Facebook user, check it out!

Not making any promises, but thought it’d be fun and interesting. We’ll see what happens! If you’re interested…

    Trust Issues

    I was having a conversation recently about relationships with someone who travels as part of their job, like I do. One of the big things that we agreed upon is that being in a relationship with someone who you will wind up spending a lot of time apart from, requires more trust than many people…

  1. It is a sad fact that the United States has not protected the human rights of children in private residential treatment and wilderness camps. These programs remain largely unregulated and terrible abuse happens while children are kept from communicating with their families and getting advocacy for even their most basic needs. The Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pension Committee needs to schedule a hearing on HR 911 the Stop Child Abuse in Residential Programs for Teens Act of 2009.
