Survivors Rising Introduces New Speakers Bureau on Intimate Partner Violence

Survivors Rising (survivorsrising.org) has announced the formation of a new Speakers Bureau on Intimate Partner Violence. It is a collective of individuals impacted by intimate partner violence who have chosen to share their experience of violence and hope to educate the public, create social change, promote awareness of the prevalence and harm of domestic violence, train service providers, impact policy and legislation and assist in preventing violence in our communities. Presentations by survivors are available for training, conferences, awareness campaigns, panel discussions, vigils and other speaking engagements.

Survivors Rising also provides training and workshops regarding intimate partner violence. Presentations include survivor experience, data on intimate partner violence in our community, information on identifying intimate partner violence, available resources for victims, and suggestions on how to help survivors. If you are interested in scheduling a training or presentation, or for those who are interested in becoming a member of the Speakers Bureau, please contact Kim at kimsurvivorsrising@gmail.com.

Survivors Rising is dedicated to advocacy, education, and support for survivors of intimate partner violence. The organization’s mission is to ensure that the survivor voice is represented in legislation and in the community, and that offenders are held accountable.
