Founders and Team of The Plural Association Nonprofit
The Plural Association was founded by The Stronghold System (they/them) who live in the Netherlands, and were diagnosed with DID in 2010. They also strongly self identify as Plural.They teamed up together with the Luna System (USA) and the Elephant Journals System (Australia.) Together with their core team of 10 other Plural volunteers, they run The Plural Association with a dynamic team of 50+ other Plural volunteers, from 6 different countries and various backgrounds, including the many different forms of Plurality. It's amazing to see our community come together like this.

Dissociative Identity Disorder
The Plural Association nonprofit mostly (over 75%) supports & empowers people who live with Dissociative Identity Disorder, a debilitating disorder that consists out of having multiple parts of the personality, out of the ordinary forgetting (amnesia) and clinical distress.We empower Plurals by providing community driven safe(r) spaces. Some of them are support groups and others are for socializing. Many Plurals never had the opportunity to actually talk with another Plural openly before.
Plurality
The Plural Association is inclusive of ALL forms of Plurality. Plurality is an umbrella term for all forms of being Many, including DID and OSDD, cultural and spiritual experiences of Multiplicity, no matter the label people use to describe their unique Plural experience.Plurals have come up with beautiful words to describe their individual experiences of Manyness. Labels like, Endogenic, Quoigenic, Median, Parogenic systems and so much more. Of course we also support mixed origin systems. When we talk with someone, we use the language and label(s) that system (member) uses for themselves.
