Elevating Survivor Voices
Over past years, Safe Harbor has worked to find more ways to elevate survivor voices. One of the ways in which we do this is consulting with The Voices of Vision Survivor Ambassadors, a group of survivors who act as bridges from Safe Harbor to their communities and vice versa. You may recall last year's I Am Campaign, in which people who have experienced intimate partner abuse told us who they are beyond the abuse and trauma they endured. The I Am Campaign was brought to you by The Voices of Vision Survivor Ambassadors, and this year they bring you Being & Becoming.
Being & Becoming
"Each day is a journey for survivors as they take courageous steps toward healing, hope and defining a new life with a new norm. Survival is a state of intentional being. Being true to yourself as you honor you, being true to your loved ones, and being true to the mission of helping others along the way.
Being & Becoming is a journey. Each journey is different and every journey is purposeful. As a survivor, who or what are you intentionally being? And who or what are you intentionally becoming?"
This campaign highlights how survival and healing occur in the form of a journey, and embraces the differences in everyone's path to healing. It helps shed the myth that healing is linear, and validates life's inevitable ups and downs. Being & Becoming is human, honest, and inspiring.
