Expression of Interest - Share your story

Share your story 

It’s time!

Yes, it is time to share your story.

Sharing your story will not be easy. How do I l know? Well in 2013, I did just that. I started to share my story. Yes, it did bring up a lot of hurt feelings and it took me back to those dark times. Though in the process something positive happened, I began to feel free from baggage, I worked through underlying emotions and I felt happier and more at peace with myself.

Since then 32 domestic violence survivors have also shared their stories in our series of stories of strength and success and rebuilding life after abuse. The authors in our three books Broken to Brilliant, Terror to Triumph and Shattered to Shining found that sharing their story was life changing. But also, their stories have helped so many other domestic violence survivors, providng hope and the tools to help them to rebuild their lives.

Now, it could be your turn to share your story.
