Partnering With: Survivors
Resources to support Safe & Together professionals partnering with survivors
Why we partner with survivors
"Domestic violence survivors and professionals share the common goals: for the abuse to stop and for the children to thrive. By working with, not against the adult survivor, practitioners are more likely to be successful in their role related to child safety and well-being. The adult survivor is their natural ally".
