Trauma Survivors Anonymous is a new 12-step mutual support group. We are currently writing literature and invite you to contribute with any writings that are meaningful to your own recovery. We have listed some of the literature that has been helpful to us and expect to continue to use it even when we have official TSA books and pamphlets.
