World Service Office

The World Service Office (WSO) helps survivors connect and carries a message of recovery to those who still suffer.  It serves the many independent SIA support groups worldwide and individuals who contact us for information. 

Services
The WSO operates an email and phone information line staffed exclusively by survivors, helps connect survivors to local SIA groups, provides literature, publishes a quarterly newsletter, and maintains a library of other helpful materials developed by survivors for survivors. It assists individuals in starting new groups, maintains the Directory of Meetings and the current list of member groups. The WSO has no full-time employees but has engaged part-time special workers to assist in the daily operations. 

Funding
The activities of SIA’s World Service Office are self-funded through the sale of SIA literature (downloadable literature, Kindle books, printed literature through Amazon) and your contributions. We depend primarily on the contributions of SIA groups and individuals. The need for financial support is ongoing and particularly acute as SIA is expanding its offerings in multiple languages. No donation is too small. Annual financial statements are provided by the Board and published on the website.

Headquarters
SIA’s headquarters, the World Service Office, is a virtual office. It operates as a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. The daily operations of the WSO are overseen by the Board of Trustees.
