The name Our Wave embodies our hope to create waves of change.We believe that the stories shared by trauma survivors have the power to create ripples of positive impact. Like a single drop of water spreading across the surface, each story can spark empathy and connection, gradually building into a powerful wave that breaks through the silence, stigma, and prejudice that have long isolated survivors from society.
You are not alone. At Our Wave, we respect each survivor’s unique journey. Like the ebb and flow of the tide, we recognize that healing is not a straight path—and we never judge steps that feel like setbacks. Instead, we celebrate every small victory and forward step together, as a caring and supportive community.
Through participating in the Our Wave community, we hope survivors will be able to reflect on their experiences, connect with others who understand, explore what healing means to them, and ultimately discover their own path toward trauma recovery—one that feels true and meaningful to them.
