All names are kept strictly confidential. GFW may contact you by email or phone. After receiving our email guidelines please contact Joyce at 207 236-8858 EST for a phone screening.

At present, the Support Pal Network is not accepting people who are currently incarcerated and/or in psychiatric hospitals.

I understand that by signing this release form that:

• GIFT FROM WITHIN will assist me in finding an email support pal.
• GIFT FROM WITHIN will create a short biography based on my completed form that will be shared with members only.
• GIFT FROM WITHIN will keep my name, bio, and address confidential within the support pal network.
• GIFT FROM WITHIN will send me names and addresses after I return the questionnaire and complete a telephone screening with Joyce Boaz.
• GIFT FROM WITHIN may from time to time send me questionnaires that will be computerized and only used for scientific studies on PTSD. I hereby authorize the use of such questionnaires that I may sign for such purposes.

As a GFW Email Support Pal, I agree to the following:

1. All names will be kept confidential;
2. That I will not hold GFW or its Board Members responsible or liable in the event that the relationship does not work, no matter the reason. I understand there are no guarantees and some risk is involved.
3. I understand that a support pal could say something during our correspondence or communications that could be triggering and I need to be mindful of my own needs and limitations. I will also behave kindly and gentle towards others, remembering we are all in this together.
4. Note: GFW is not accepting snail mail only support pals at this time.

Please provide:
Personal History: name, age, gender, traumatic experience, why you want this service. (Some of this info will be shared with members only)
