Testimonials and Reviews

“I hope to reach out to more faith based communities to encourage them to help support survivors and this gave me a better framework to do so!”

“I reached out because I am working to start group therapy for domestic violence and I wanted to verify that it was okay to use materials found on the website. The reply was amazing, not only was it quick, but I was given additional resources in an easy to access format.”

“I want our whole team to be as inspired to remove barriers as I am feeling right now – I want us to feel like there are an abundance of resources that we can give to those in our care.”

“The service was above and beyond excellence; I was greeted by name which means a lot to me.”

“NRCDV provides a wealth of resources that I have only just begun to explore and am excited to dive deeper into the materials and training provided – significantly, provided at no cost!!”

“It’s so helpful to understand how we can better serve survivors in ways that are truly survivor-driven and low-barrier.”

“NRCDV is the type of community partner you know you can count on. It’s clear the staff see themselves as a family and welcome each of their community partners in the same way… Their compassion and advocacy are qualities that all of us in this work strive to model.”

“We appreciate the longstanding partnership we’ve had with NRCDV, and value the important work they do to respond to and prevent domestic violence. Our resource centers work together to unite prevention and advocacy to build a future where all individuals and communities are free from sexual and domestic violence.”

“As a community midwife, I knew very little about the warning signs, barriers, and lack of resources someone might be up against when in an IPV situation… before the training, I worry that I would have done harm in a disclosure situation. After the training, I feel like I’m equipped to avoid harming someone and help them find a way forward, whatever that looks like for them. Thank you for providing this invaluable training.”

“Their response to my needs left me feeling like they are an organization that cares about making a difference in the lives of victims one person at a time.”

“The presentations were SO inspiring. I left with such a great desire to remove barriers from people seeking services at our organization.”

“The presenters were very knowledgeable, spoke of real life experiences, provided guidance based on those experiences. WONDERFUL!!”    

“I am blown away by how detailed and helpful Patty’s response was. She linked to multiple trainings and resources that directly answer my question. I was struggling online for some time trying to find direction.”

“NRCDV is actively doing the much-needed ground work to reduce harm and stigma, and make a difference in the communities that we are a part of. In community, avanzamos juntos!”

“I am hoping to bring this knowledge to our coalition and dream up ways we can implement something like this within our state and programs.”

“I was beyond encouraged with the amount of resources that I was provided, as well as the feedback I was getting in regards to the project that we are completing.”

“I was recently promoted and will be working closely with DV victims… I still need a lot more training but this training was definitely helpful in getting me started for my new position.”

“As one of NRCDV’s partners over the last couple of years, it has been our pleasure to collaborate with NRCDV by providing language access to vast topics relevant to our society from a trauma-informed perspective. The topics covered help educate advocates, educators, and the community as a whole.”

“Thank you so much for speaking with my students. I’m in awe of your ability to synthesize such complicated ideas so that people not familiar with the workings of policy can understand them.”
