SHARE YOUR STORY with Humans on the Registry
The goal of Registered Humans is twofold: first, put a truly human face on persons required to register and show that they are just like anyone else. Second, provide a voice of hope to other registrants that they can find some measure of success and happiness.
Registrants are encouraged to tell their stories, focusing on the NOW and on what brings them joy and satisfaction. Not to minimize the pain and struggle, or any harm done in the past, but instead to show that we are more than the worst thing we have ever done, and can be contributing members of society.
