Share your story

Your voice could be the one another survivor needs to hear.

Every story is read by a real person. Nothing is ever shared or published without confirming with you first. Share as much or as little as feels right, whenever you're ready.

Share your story
In their words

Here's what happens when survivors break the silence, begin to heal, and demand to be heard.

Coming from severe trauma and violent sexual abuse from age 6 through 21, I never thought anyone would ever believe me. Now I can actually celebrate my survival. My life looks so different now than it did three years ago. I am forever grateful for the Survivor Circle.
Alexandria G.
Telling my story to someone who believed me changed everything. Three years ago I was cutting, lost, and desperate for connection. Everything changed when I found you, shared, and let the healing begin. I am finally at that happy place I always said I dreamed about.
Augusta B.
I am forever grateful for that circle of support that saved my life. I am now the grandmother of four granddaughters and feel that my healing has broken the generational cycle of abuse in my family.

Before you share

You're in control of every part of this.

01

Share as much or as little as you want

A sentence, a memory, or your whole story. There's no minimum and no wrong way to tell it.

02

You choose how you're credited

Your name, initials, or anonymous. Whatever feels safest for you.

03

Nothing is published without you

A real person reads every story. If we ever want to share it further, we confirm with you first, every time.

04

This isn't only for testimonials

If you just need someone to hear you, that's enough. You don't have to want anything published to write to us.

Share your story

Whenever you're ready, we're listening.

Use the message field to share your story, however you want to tell it. Let us know how you'd like to be credited, and whether it's something you'd ever be open to sharing further. We will always confirm with you before anything goes further.

Share as much or as little as feels right. A sentence, a memory, or the whole thing. There is no minimum and no wrong way to tell it.
Your name, your first name and last initial, or Anonymous. Whatever feels safest.
So a real person can write back to you, and so you can change your mind later.
