Experience buddy

If you have overcome domestic violence, you know how difficult it can be. Do you want to use your experience to help others? You can! As an experience buddy, you are committed to people who have just emerged from a domestic violence situation and are rebuilding their lives. Because you know better than anyone what it is like to find a place in society again and to dare to take that big step (after all). Help others find their strength again and overcome domestic violence. Join Maatje achter de Voordeur and join the fight against domestic violence. Together we will tackle the taboo!

Become an experience buddy

As an experience buddy, you are now strong enough to help others. You have your own experiences of violence behind you and have processed them sufficiently. You look back on a period that was not easy, but have now got your life back on track.
