"The Domestic Violence Surrogate Dialogue program helped me to have confidence in my own instincts. If I had trusted them (my instincts) before, I would never have stayed" -- Becky, a domestic violence survivor and DVSD participant.
Survivor participants have said that DVSD has provided them with:
- Empowerment
- Clarity
- Voice
- Ownership
If you have had questions for your abuser that, for safety reasons, you have never asked, DVSD offers a safe and honest environment to obtain your answers.

"DVSD made me realize the path of destruction I have left in people's lives...that is very humbling."-- Brad, a domestic violence offender and DVSD participant.
Offender participants have said that DVSD has provided them with:
- A chance to give back
- A chance to listen
- Accountability
- Empathy
This is a unique chance for you to hear the effects of abuse on a survivor. You are able to address questions that only an offender can answer. DVSD provides a supportive place for you to honestly talk about your past in order to help another person.
