How Do Survivors Define Success? A New Project to Address an Overlooked Question

We set out to understand how survivors and others in the domestic violence field across California define survivor success. What we found calls into question many basic assumptions of the domestic violence field, and highlights important opportunities for strengthening systems’ response across California and nationwide.

Hear from survivors of domestic violence, how they define success for themselves, and the disconnects between survivors’ voices and the programs designed to support them. You’ll learn how domestic violence is not central to most survivors’ identity – and how we can redefine success from a survivor’s perspective.
