Share Your Story

Stories of those who have survived abuse can provide strength and encouragement to women who are dealing domestic violence right now. Personal accounts also help members of our community to understand why supports for victims of abuse are so critical.

If you choose to share your story, it is up to you whether you wish to identify yourself to our staff, whether you wish to share your story with others and how your story is shared. It is YOUR story. So it is your choice.

You can share your story by using the form or by reaching out to our Director of Development and Stewardship, Amanda Braet at 905-356-3933 ext. 240 or AmandaB@birchway.ca
