Pandora's Project: "Pandora’s Project sponsors the internet’s largest support community for those who have been the victim of sexual violence. We believe peer support is an important complement to therapy and other traditional methods of healing. Survivors find comfort through commonality, the lessening of shame, positive role-modeling, practical assistance, and a virtual shoulder to lean on – any time they need it.  Available 24 hours a day and free of charge to any survivor who has internet access, the Pandora's Aquarium message board and chat room offer victims of sexual violence a refuge to share experiences, seek advice, and provide support."
