DASH has a wonderful group of women who are survivors themselves. With their wisdom they volunteer their time, offering guidance & support to survivors who are either still in an abusive relationship or have left. This is all done via email.

If you are a female abuse survivor, have been out of your abusive relationship for at least 2 years, and want to give back by supporting others, we would love to hear from you. Please fill out this form and our Peer Mentor Supervisor will be in touch with you soon. Thank you in advance for your application.

Below you will find two emails from make-believe survivors. They are in the format you will receive them in should you become a mentor. Please read the information and respond to the survivor. Spelling, grammar and clarity count!Email 1Name: Katie Email: [Katie's email address]What can we help you with?I want to know how to forget and get over an abusive relationship. I can't seem to shake it. I thought I was better because I had a different relationship that was not abusive after I left, but that is over now. It feels like I just broke up with my abusive boyfriend instead of my latest boyfriend! I guess I didn't heal as well as I'd thought. What can I do? Your reply to Katie:

Email 2Name: Chandy Email:[Chandy's email address]What can we help you with?Why do I keep getting sucked back in? I've left five times and gone back each time. I've left him again, but the same cycle of returning is happening. Although I've blocked him on Facebook and send his emails directly to the trash, I am weakening. Today I texted him. I told some of my friends that we are through and they are happy for me…I am ashamed to tell them the truth – that I may end up going back again. What is wrong with me? Why can't I stick with it??
