VOICES OKC
VOICES OKC is a survivor-led and survivor-driven committee dedicated to raising awareness of and support for those impacted by abuse and violence. Our objective is to bring awareness to Palomar’s services, promote healthy relationships, and advocate for meaningful change. We empower survivors to find strength in their stories and use their voices to break the silence that allows abuse to continue. Through sharing experiences of courage, hope, and healing we aim to be a voice for those who have not yet been heard.
Our Purpose
We are the VOICES of Palomar. We are survivors using our stories to give hope and healing to others.
