This Networking egroup is sponsored by The Awareness Center. The international organization dedicated to addressing childhood sexual abuse in Jewish communities around the world. This egroup is offered as a way for Jewish survivors who are gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgender to network with each other and discuss issues so that no one will feel alone.

This is a reminder that The Awareness Center is dedicated to addressing the needs of all Jewish people, including those of the Jewish faith who are gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgender and are Survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Please note, except for the area of sexual abuse and recovery, The Awareness Center does not make judgments concerning individuals, groups or organizations. Our view is that - as with any Jewish survivors - survivors who are gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgender need to know that they are NOT alone, and that they can and are worthy of receiving effective help.

The Awareness Center's policy states that we will NOT tolerate "gay bashing." If this occurs the individual who is promoting hate will be banned from all emailing lists of our organization. Another policy of The Awareness Center is to prescreen individuals interested in joining any of our networking groups that are geared towards survivors. The Awareness Center cannot guarantee that undesirable people will join, yet our goal is to attempt to create a safe environment for survivors to network and share their thoughts and feelings relating to their victimization and healing.
