About Christine Murray, Founder of The Source for Survivors
Hello, I'm Christine Murray, and my mission through The Source for Survivors is to make a real impact in the lives of survivors and bridge gaps between research and practice to improve the support available to those impacted by abuse. This mission holds special significance for me because I'm also on my own healing journey as a survivor.
My commitment to understanding and addressing intimate partner violence and other forms of abuse has been a central theme in my work. I explore this passion through research, writing, teaching, and community-based partnerships. Additionally, I'm the Co-Founder of See the Triumph, a research-based social media campaign aiming to support survivors and end the stigma they often face. I also led the team that developed the Healthy Relationships Initiative, a preventive approach that aims to promote happy, healthy, and safe relationships of all kinds. Since 2005, I have worked at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro , where I've served as Director of the Center for Youth, Family, and Community Partnerships, as well as Professor in the UNCG Department of Counseling and Educational Development (CED). I've written two books that focus on readers who are survivors of abuse: Triumph Over Abuse and The Verbal Abuse Recovery Workbook. For those curious to learn more, many of my research publications are available through NC DOCKS, and you can find out more about my work at christinemurray.info. |
