Founder Howard Grahame and our team are trained to navigate these difficult conversations.
• Pacing: We move at the survivor's pace. If a memory is too painful to share in one sitting, we pause. We wait.
• Sensitivity: We understand that trauma manifests in different ways. Whether we interview via Zoom, phone, or in-person, we ensure the environment feels safe, comfortable, and controlled by the survivor.
• Accuracy: We strive to get the details right, names of towns, dates, and locations, so that the historical record remains true.
