Welcome to the Explore Our Community Page
Scroll down to learn how to be notified of new content and access links leading you directly to our Community features (both free and paid).
Welcome to a space where your journey is honored, your voice is heard, and your path to healing is supported by a community of compassionate peers. Together, we can navigate the complexities of recovery and celebrate the power of connection.
Recovering from family scapegoating abuse (FSA) is a courageous and often solitary journey, but it doesn’t have to be walked alone. Embracing active community participation and taking the leap to connect with other survivors can play a crucial role in your healing process. Engaging with a supportive community that understands FSA and its effects provides not just a sense of belonging, but also invaluable opportunities for shared experiences, mutual understanding, and collective empowerment.
Getting Notified of New Community Content
You can choose how you’d like to be notified of new content I put out by following the instructions below. Do be aware that the mobile app does not show you content creators’ entire navigation menu at this time (Substack is supposedly working to address this). Paid subscribers will therefore want to access my Substack via a browser to enjoy all of our community features (or bookmark this page for easy reference).
On a Browser:
1. Head over to your Substack account Settings page and scroll to the Notifications section.
2. Click on the toggle next to each option to disable / enable.
On the Substack Mobile App:
1. Tap your Substack profile picture and select Settings.
2. Tap Notifications and on this page, toggle off what you do not want to receive push notifications for.

PAID Community Only Offerings (click on the link to visit the featured page):
Joining a paid community for adult survivors of family scapegoating abuse offers more than just a place to share your story; it provides a dedicated, private, pay-walled protected area designed specifically for your needs.

Your paid subscription also support my mission to bring global attention to FSA and its effects via my ongoing research and publication efforts.
Search Feature: Remember, you can always do a search via the magnifying glass icon to find topics of interest, worksheets, etc., associated with the FSA Education Substack. If you see two such icons near the upper right of a page while visiting from a browser, use the one that will be to the left of the three horizontal dots to do your search.
Link: Chat Threads (with search feature): Chat threads are protected by a paywall, allowing for private community discussions on sensitive material. A new Chat thread is started each time I publish an article on FSA. To reply to a chat from a browser, hover over the message and then click on the curved black arrow to the right (click on the 3 horizontal dots next this arrow to see more options). On the Substack mobile app, touch the message with your pointer or finger and several options will display, including ‘Reply’.
*You can search for a specific topic by entering your search term in the magnifying glass icon to the left of the 3 horizontal dots at the top of the ‘Chat’ page.

Link: Ask the Community: A ‘Reddit’-like feature where community members can share their collective wisdom and help each other over the various hurdles and humps that are bound to rise up in their path as they journey away from abuse and dysfunction toward a a more hopeful present and a brighter future. (You can check out previous questions in our community archive - use the magnifying glass icon at the top right of the page to search on topics that interest you.)
