Maine DV Resource Centers Focus on Storytelling

Caring Unlimited, the DVRC serving York County, developed their Survivor Stories Project in 2013. The project solicits written stories – whether essay, poem, stream-of-consciousness or other format – from survivors to include in the project. The stories are paired with information about domestic abuse and Caring Unlimited’s programs and services and presented to the public at a free, monologue-style performance. This year’s 13th Annual Survivor Stories Project will be on Oct. 23 at McDougal’s Orchard in Springvale.

“We know how powerful the writing and sharing of stories can be,” says Emily Gormley, Caring Unlimited’s director of development and community engagement. “Through this Project we are able to convey the incredible strength of survivors in our community while also bringing the community together to raise awareness.”
