About us
The Plural Association Nonprofit
A grassroots nonprofit dedicated to people living with Dissociative Identity Disorder, Other Specified Dissociative Disorder and all other forms of Multiplicity under the Plural umbrella, no matter the label they use, to describe their individual and unique experience with ‘Manyness.’
We are The Plural Association, the first nonprofit dedicated to people living with Dissociative Identity Disorder, Other Specified Dissociative Disorder and all other forms of Multiplicity under the Plural umbrella, no matter the label used to describe their individual and unique experience with ‘Manyness.’
We are peer and volunteer led. All our peer support Plurals are volunteers, including our founders. Everymany on our team is Plural in one or more ways. Many of us are disabled. More are survivors. We have volunteers from various minority groups and backgrounds. We all work from home to keep costs low and volunteering accessible.
