STAR Network: A Beacon of Healing
At its core, the STAR Network is committed to the support, treatment, and prevention of trauma and attachment disorders. This 501(c)(3) organization offers scalable and accessible resources, helping survivors of trauma rebuild their lives.
One of its flagship programs, TAR Anon™ (Toxic Abusive Relationships Anonymous), is a virtual peer-to-peer fellowship designed to empower survivors of toxic abusive relationships, PTSD, and CPTSD. TAR Anon provides a lifeline to thousands worldwide, offering:
- Free Weekly Support Meetings: Safe, neuro regulated spaces for sharing and healing, available:
- Mondays and Wednesdays at 6 PM ET
- Fridays at 12 PM ET
- Peer-to-Peer Support: A fellowship built on shared experiences and mutual growth.
- 12-Step Fellowship for Trauma: A simple, structured program guiding Survivors of Toxic Abusive Relationships from victim to STAR.
It’s important to note that while these meetings offer vital emotional support, they are not a substitute for medical treatment.
