Empowering each survivor to find their healing journey
We believe storytelling is powerful. We believe survivors deserve to share their experiences with an empathetic community of support, hope, and healing.
Survivors should not have to go at it alone. We provide safe ways for survivors to send messages of hope, support, and healing to fellow survivors. We're all in this together.
We have compiled answers to common questions from our community. We hope these answers can help survivors, advocates, and allies learn more about survivor healing.
We work with our partners to provide a list of trusted resources available for everyone. Survivors can find support for sexual harm, domestic violence, & childhood abuse.
“When a survivor has a safe place to tell their story they are given empowerment and freedom - Our Wave does just that!”
“Sharing my story allowed me to feel like I had a voice that I didn’t have before. I had the freedom to choose when and who I shared it with.”
“I believe that Our Wave provides a vital platform for survivors to find collective voice safely and securely. We will never find a way to end sexual harm until we can talk about it and learn from one another. Talking about the violence in our lives can be a way to find healing and hope.”
“If I had known when I was a 20-year old girl that there was a place where I could go to talk about my experience. A place where I could meet a warm and accepting community to share this stuff with would have made an enormous difference. It can really remove the pain and reconnect you to people again after feeling isolated for so long.”
Survivors should not have to be alone. Our mission is to provide a safe platform in which individuals can share stories and interact with others to highlight hope and begin the healing process together.

Read Our Community Guidelines
When survivors share their experiences and connect with others, it creates a ripple effect of validation and support. As more survivors find the courage to speak their truths, these ripples grow into waves of change, eroding the silence and stigma that too often isolate survivors.
