Hope & healing begins here

What is Survivor Care?

Healing from trauma is a deeply personal journey that requires ongoing support and access to essential resources. Many survivors face significant barriers to stability and independence. At Breaking Free, we walk alongside each individual, offering trauma-informed, personalized support to help them reclaim their lives and build a future on their own terms.

​Our approach is grounded in the following core principles, ensuring that every survivor receives the comprehensive, compassionate support they deserve.​

​​

• Trauma-Informed Care – Recognizing the lasting impact of trauma, services are designed to foster safety, trust, and empowerment while avoiding re-traumatization.

• Survivor-Centered Approach – Survivors lead their own healing journey, with personalized support that respects their choices, autonomy, and unique needs.

• Collaborative & Holistic Care – A network of service providers, including housing, legal advocacy, mental health, and substance abuse support, work together to address the full scope of a survivor’s needs.

• Culturally Responsive Support – Programs honor diverse backgrounds and experiences, ensuring care is inclusive, respectful, and tailored to each survivor’s identity and lived experience.​​​​
