The holidays represent friendship, peace and hope for a better future. However, holidays can be stressful and lonely for registered citizens and their families. Remember that you are not alone and that there are resources that may be helpful.
S.O.S.E.N. (Sex Offender Solutions Support and Education Network) is an internet site for registered citizens and their family members.

The mailing address is SOSEN, Inc. P.O. Box 235, Dixon, IL 61021.
R.S.O.L. (Reform Sex Offender Laws) is an important national website with several state branches that is actively working, among other things, to limit registry access strictly to law enforcement only and reverse retroactively applied restrictions.
