The Importance of Dialogue

For survivors of intimate partner violence, having a voice is critical to the success and impact of the healing journey. Having that voice shared in a public way encourages confidence, which can be even more meaningful to the process of healing. Taking it further: engaging in thoughtful and honest conversation can strengthen the resolve of others who may be suffering, in addition to providing valuable and educational information to members of the public that can ignite a desire for conscientious behavior and advocacy as well as inspire compassion and empathy.
