Finding Our Voices marshals survivor voices, and community creativity and compassion to finally move the needle on domestic violence in Maine, and bring safety, justice, freedom, and comfort to Maine women and children.
Year after year in Maine, for decades, half of all homicides stem from domestic violence. Also for decades domestic abuse has been in the shadows, breeding shame, isolation, and fear.
It is time to do something different. Finding Our Voices is that change.
We are boldly opening eyes, minds, and hearts across Maine to the domestic abuse raging all around us with ground-breaking public campaigns including in schools, and with life-saving and life-altering support programs bringing the issue and its victims INTO THE LIGHT —for safety, justice, personal healing, and systemic change.
Finding Our Voices is building, and providing loving peer-support to, a community of domestic abuse survivors all across our state. We are working to remove the isolation and shame that keep women and children trapped in misery and danger, while providing hope and meaningful resources for the all-important crossover from survivor to thriver.
