PA on deeper level, plays a wider role is supporting mental and emotional health through publishing.  PA with its facilities act as a vehicle to take PA's:

• towards their goals/aspirations, 
• to a new vantage point, 
• to another level in the individual's life, 
• a new light, 
• a new hope; 
• giving people a taster, 
• publishing in a group, 
• where it gives a sense belonging in a group, 
• being part of something as oppose to where people are not comfortable going-it alone, 
• where they don't feel fragile, 
• vulnerable, 
• exposed 
• and some have said feel "naked."

As a collective PA strives to radiate and resonate the purpose, however, individually everyone is and has their own journey, very subjective. Some people have waited their whole life to launch, due to myriad of reasons and "life's bondages."
