In the forum, I've linked to some info about an art show for sexual and domestic abuse survivors that some of you might be interested in here: http://forums.bellaonline.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/623709/Sexual_and_Domestic_Abuse_Surv#Post623709

I also wanted to let you know about some news in a recent newsletter from RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network). A national talk show is looking for male survivors of childhood sexual assault and molestation to be audience members. Here is the link to the form to fill out at the RAINN website if you're interested: http://www.rainn.org/national-talk-show-looking-for-male-survivors

I hope to hear from you sometime soon, either in the forum or in response to this email message. I thrive on your feedback!

Feel free to pass this message along to family and friends, because we all love free knowledge!
