Self Care
We are all drawn to this work for different reasons. For some it is because we are ourselves survivors of domestic violence and/ sexual assault and volunteering with CORA may be a healthy part of a survivor's healing process. Others may do this work in response to witnessing intimate partner abuse in thier family and want to help end it in their community. CORA volunteers come from all walk of life and we want to acknowledge that for all volunteers, doing this work can also be triggering and elicit intense feelings. For this reason, we believe that psychological well-being and self-care should be priorities for anyone engaged in this field.
