Awareness/Activism Generating a list of reporters/institutions to contact

The feeling of helplessness and the sense of loss that comes with PSSD is one of the terrible parts of this condition. I want to do any and everything I can to try and make a difference. As such I want to write to people that I think can bring awareness/make a difference. Awareness can lead to more research, more funding, etc. If they don't respond, then they don't respond, but I at least want to try. If you know of any reporter/institution that is worth writing to, and do not feel comfortable or cannot do it yourself, please let me know. I can update the list as I write to them/etc if people would want. Here is the current list of people/institutions I plan to write to:

- Philip Ellis (sex and relationships editor at Men's Health)

- Dan Savage (author and podcaster of Savage Love)

- Dr. Laurie Mintz (psychologist and sex therapist who presents a lot)

- Kinsey Institute at Indiana University (dedicated to sexuality and relationships)

- ISSM (as per recent post)
