Automated Statement Generator

Welcome to the Statement Generator. This tool is designed to help you tell your story safely, easily, and anonymously. It takes just a few minutes.

How It Works:

You’ll answer Yes/No questions.
For each 'Yes', the generator creates a suggested paragraph.
You can edit or add to any paragraph.
You can download your completed statement or exit any time.
You can download your draft statement without providing any identifying details.
You are not alone. Support is available if needed. Just email us at sa************@***il.com and we’ll be in touch.

Note: Some questions relate to some specific outreaches. So, if there’s a question that doesn’t apply to your outreach just answer no to those questions.

Some questions may trigger strong feelings. Please take breaks if you need to and come back the questions later. You are also welcome to email us if you just need to talk to someone.
