Your Story Matters, Domestic Violence Support Group | A Place For Survivors to Share Their Story

Emma Watts sits down with Jordan Wolford on this episode of Along the Rock to discuss the launch of Your Story Matters, a domestic violence survivor support group serving the Sauk Valley area.

Jordan shares her personal journey as a survivor, what inspired her to create the group, and why local support systems are so important for victims and survivors of domestic violence. The conversation also explores the challenges many people face when trying to leave abusive situations, the importance of finding a support network, and Jordan’s hopes for expanding resources and awareness throughout the community.

Meetings for Your Story Matters are currently held Tuesdays from 5–6 p.m. at the Loveland Community Building in Dixon, Illinois.
