Can a community truly make a difference in the lives of domestic violence survivors? Join us as Maria, the dedicated founder of Survivor's R Us, shares incredible stories of transformation and hope. Discover the profound impact of a simple act, like providing fresh fruits to children, and the crucial support offered to pregnant women escaping abusive situations.
With the help of over 110 passionate volunteers, Survivors Are Us has brought life-changing services to over 90,000 people. Maria reveals their ambitious goal of securing funding for 20 emergency dwellings by 2024 and discusses their persistent challenges.
Empowering survivors and fostering community support is at the heart of Survivors Are Us. Our conversation highlights how collaboration with businesses, schools, and government agencies is vital for spreading awareness and providing essential resources like food, clothing, and white goods. Listen to the inspiring success story of a survivor who regained her freedom and learn how impactful partnerships with organisations such as Food Bank and OzHarvest play a critical role.
Maria also shares their recent improvements, including establishing an advisory board and promoting efforts to enhance diversity, equity, and inclusion. Don't miss our sneak peek into next week's episode on supporting individuals affected by Parkinson's disease with insights from Mary Kay Walker and Rachel Tanny.
