WATER FOR ELEPHANTS is grateful for its partnership with Volare and for the resources they provide to those living similar stories, not on stage, but in their daily lives. We hope the resources and reminders below are helpful and supportive.
Resources for Survivors
This page is a part of the Volare and WATER FOR ELEPHANTS partnership.
Here are some resources for survivors of domestic violence. If you or someone you know is unsure about what they are experiencing, they can also access these resources for support, to ask questions or find out more information.
Trauma-Informed Storytelling
This page is a part of the Volare and WATER FOR ELEPHANTS partnership.
Storytelling is a powerful way to create a cultural shift in our society and uplift voices that are often marginalized and silenced. Storytelling can also be a way that survivors decide to engage in their own path to healing and justice. When those stories are stories of trauma and violence, there are some considerations to take. These stories are important and, as always, we want to ensure we are not causing further harm.
Building Supportive Communities
This page is a part of the Volare and WATER FOR ELEPHANTS partnership.
Domestic violence is rooted in power imbalances, this is what allows this violence to occur and persist. The more we, as a society, talk about it, learn about it, and challenge these dynamics and imbalances, the closer we will be to ending the violence.
Supporting Someone You Know
This page is a part of the Volare and WATER FOR ELEPHANTS partnership.
We want to encourage and uplift a person’s autonomy and power. This is crucial as domestic violence is based on someone asserting power and control over another person or people. Being part of someone’s support system means we want to facilitate a supportive and safe space. We do not have to agree or be happy about their decisions but we can still support them.
