You Can’t Save Us

You Can't Save Us: What Survivors Actually Need from the People Around Them is a bold, clear-eyed guide for those who think they care but aren't showing it in ways that matter or don't know how to show up. With compassion and clarity, author, keynote speaker, survivor, and prevention specialist, Melody C. Gross breaks down exactly how relationship abuse impacts every circle a survivor is in, and what you need to do to actually help.

Inside, you'll get:

  • Practical tools and strategies tailored for each role: family, friends, neighbors, and employers. 

  • First-person survivor accounts that reveal what support looked like and what it didn't. 

  • The ABCs of Disruption, a powerful framework to disrupt the cycle for good. 

  • Rapid-fire Q&As after each chapter to address the questions you're too afraid to ask.

Whether you're showing up for someone you love or trying to create a safer workplace or community, this is your guide.

No One’s Coming to Save You

What if the hardest part wasn't leaving-what if it's everything that comes after?

Everyone around you thinks you're "better" now. You left. You survived. But they don't see the daily battle to feel safe, the financial mess you didn't create, the strained relationships, or the silence that screams when the world moves on and you're still trying to piece yourself back together.

In No One's Coming to Save You, survivor, speaker, and prevention specialist Melody C. Gross delivers a powerful, honest, and necessary guide for life after abuse. With courage and clarity, she walks you through the five areas most impacted by domestic violence, safety, finances, family, friendships, and self, and introduces you to the transformative process of re·SELF·tion: restoring yourself after relationship abuse.

Gross doesn't just speak from theory; she speaks from experience. She stopped waiting for rescue and learned to become her own savior. Now she's offering you the same tools, truths, and strategies that helped her rebuild a life rooted in freedom, wholeness, and power.

This isn't just a book. It's a mirror, a lifeline, and a manifesto.

You can reclaim your life.

You can write your next chapter.

You can be your own damn hero.

No one's coming to save you. But you don't need them to. You'll save yourself!

  • “Grateful to Melody Gross from Courageous SHIFT for providing our leadership team with a two-day training on domestic in the workplace. We now have a policy, resources, and know how to provide proper support to anyone on our team who comes to us in need. ALL leaders in every organization, no matter how small, should be trained by Courageous SHIFT. Unfortunately, domestic violence is so pervasive that you may have an employee dealing with it right now who could use your support.”

  • “After attending this training, I walked away feeling like every organization should do it, also. For anyone who thinks domestic violence doesn't affect the workplace - cliff notes, it absolutely does! The information contained in the training was important, eye-opening, and clearly relevant. As someone who has supervised and been in leadership for many years, I learned things I didn't know, and I feel more prepared to support someone who is experiencing domestic violence.”
