Share Your Story

Your story has the incredible power to bring hope to fellow survivors. Every journey is unique, and by sharing your experiences, you can offer strength and courage to others who are navigating their own paths to healing.

If you believe your story can provide hope and healing, we invite you to share it with us. Our goal is to uplift teens who may currently be facing various challenges, helping them see that they are not alone and that recovery is possible.

WHAT TO SHARE

We invite you to share your unique, authentic journey. We know not all stories are about romantic relationships, as well. You may want to share stories of abuse or unhealthy behaviors — of how you found better ways to treat each other — in your own friendships. As you reflect on what to share, aim to encourage, empower, and inspire fellow survivors. Here are some guidelines to help you:

Please avoid discussing specific details of the abuse or your perpetrator, as this could re-traumatize other survivors.
Share a breakthrough moment that marked a turning point in your journey. We’d love to hear about your progress and healing.
How has One Love helped you in your journey?
