Break Your Silence

Shanna Davidson Survivor Sister Story

 

My hope is to reach as many woman as possible with my testimony. I look forward to the encouragement I will receive from all of you woman! With your encouragement I will continue onto my dream to open a very unique domestic violence shelter. Please watch my testimony.

Please also give any input to the following to help guide me as I create a safe place to turn victims into survivors!

I would like to take a survey on Domestic Violence shelters. Please answer if you yourself is or have been a victim or if you know someone that is or was a victim please provide me with their input. If you want to send it private please message me. ?
1) What were the things about the shelter you went to that kept you there and on the path of a survivor?
2) ‎If you went into a shelter but did not stay there, what variables played into your decision to leave?
3) ‎If you left did you go back to your abuser?
4) If you did not go the avenue of a shelter, what steered you away from it?
Any other personal input on this subject would be greatly appreciated! I’m doing this research in hopes to make a change in the world one person at a time!
