The National Domestic Violence Hotline offers The Storytellers Collective. It is a national collection of people willing to share their personal experiences with domestic violence. We hope to connect survivors and those who have experienced domestic violence to the community to create awareness and dialogue.

Through spoken, written, and other means of communication, The Storytellers Collective encourages relationship abuse survivors to speak about the complexities of intimate partner violence. We hope to transform the narrative surrounding domestic violence by giving the issue real faces, real voices, and real stories.
