Survivor Handbook: Practical Tools for Reputational Protection

Survivors should not be forced to prove absence, defend silence, or relive trauma in order to be believed. Survivor Handbook: Practical Tools for Reputational Protection offers a clear, survivor‑led framework for reclaiming narrative, protecting dignity, and resisting reputational harm. Drawing on lived experience, trauma‑informed publishing, and systemic advocacy, this handbook introduces seven practical tools: the Statement of Record, Consent Protocols, Digital Identity Vault, Silence Marks, Challenge‑Before‑Action Protocol, Community Allies Network, and Trauma‑Informed Self‑Publishing. Each tool is designed to help survivors safeguard credibility while navigating institutions, digital spaces, and public discourse. Accessible yet rigorous, the handbook blends practical strategies with academic grounding. It is intended for survivors, allies, advocates, and institutions seeking to embed dignity‑focused reforms into policy and practice. View Less
