SURVIVOR INFO & RESOURCES
Updated May
26, 2002
In
establishing these links I have focused on sites which have been
developed
by my fellow survivors, and have not included any links to
'professional'
resources, as it is my interest to foster a survivor to survivor
approach
to dealing with what get defined as 'mental health' issues. In my
opinion
there is no better teacher than first-hand experience -- some things
cannot
be learned from a book. As it stands, professional models of 'caring'
have
as their basis a model which focuses on controlling unwanted behavior
rather
than assisting people in dealing with (self-defined) personal issues,
and
relies on oppressive, unequal power relationships to achieve their
goals.
Some of the authors of pages linked here do include professional
resources
-- that is at the sole discretion of the authors. I assume no
responsibility
for the contents of these sites.
If you find any links which are
broken or
require updating please e-mail
me.
