What is it all about?

Through live theater and online learning, the Isabel community teaches people how to support survivors of sexual maltreatment in daily life.

Isabel can come to life in YOUR community through partnership with your local theatre and the local school system (or other EDU partners).

Where did it come from?

Isabel programs are written BY a survivor of sexual maltreatment FOR supporters of survivors of sexual maltreatment. Because we know that it’s hard to be helpful.

The Isabel playwright (and composer) imagined Isabel in 2012 after being diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. She founded the Isabel community in 2018 in Austin, TX. Now, Isabel’s story of healing inspires people around the country to learn and grow.

Individually, you can…

Take our online course to learn how to individually support a #metoo survivor in the moment they first disclose a past experience of harm. The course is called “Get Isabel Certified.”

As a group, you can…

Produce a live Isabel show with your community to change hearts and minds through an impactful work of comic drama.

Adapt our online course to provide social emotional learning curriculum for your community.

“Hey there! I am the composer, playwright, and lead educator behind the Isabel community. You can learn more about my background here.

My team and I teach people to emotionally support survivors of sexual maltreatment with our staged shows and our musical theatre - integrated online course.

We believe that YOU CAN support survivors. Empathy is a skill that can be learned, practiced, and improved upon. Joining our community will help you get “on track” for success supporting survivors.”
