Save the Date! 10th Anniversary of Start by Believing
We can hardly believe it has been nearly ten years since we launched the first Start by Believing campaign at our 2011 International Conference in Chicago, Illinois! In ten years, Start by Believing has made a profound difference in survivors’ lives, by: · Creating positive change in our communities · Improving responses to disclosures of sexual violence · Fostering a safe and supportive environment for survivors to disclose Since its inception, 573 communities across the United States and around the world have participated in Start by Believing campaigns. Eight states have proclaimed their dedication to Start by Believing, and thousands of people have taken the Start by Believing pledge.
