Half of today's domestic violence (DV) advocates are survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) or other forms of abuse. Yet, little is known about the experiences of those who are both survivors and advocates, especially regarding organizational relationships, policies, and culture, and how these factors shape well-being. This grounded theory study of 12 survivor-advocates identified three dimensions of organizational support that contribute survivor-advocates' well-being: acknowledging their trauma-related needs, fostering belonging, and honoring strengths. In each case, these organizational factors contribute to well-being through the mechanism of validating their identities as survivors. Suggestions for organizations to better support survivor-advocates are discussed.
今天，有一半的家庭暴力（DV）倡导者是亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）或其他形式虐待的幸存者。然而，对于既是幸存者又是倡导者的人的经历，人们知之甚少，尤其是关于组织关系、政策和文化，以及这些因素如何影响他们的幸福感。本研究对 12 名幸存者倡导者进行了扎根理论研究，确定了组织支持的三个维度，这些维度有助于幸存者倡导者的幸福感：承认他们与创伤相关的需求、培养归属感和尊重优势。在每种情况下，这些组织因素都通过验证他们作为幸存者的身份来促进幸福感。讨论了组织支持幸存者倡导者的建议。
