Empowering Trauma Survivors: The Impact of the Breaking Free Foundation
In a world where trauma can shatter lives, organizations like the Breaking Free Foundation (BFF) stand out as beacons of hope and healing. Founded with a mission to provide survivors of traumatic life events with the treatment and support needed to reclaim their lives, BFF has become a vital resource for individuals seeking to break free from the grips of trauma.
Understanding the Breaking Free Foundation
The Breaking Free Foundation is a registered charity that emerged from the collaborative efforts of seven passionate individuals united by a common goal: to make a meaningful impact in the trauma community. The foundation’s inception was inspired by the success of the Victor Walk, an initiative started by former Calgary Flames alumni, Theo Fleury, in 2013. From its origins, BFF has evolved into a cornerstone of trauma support, advocating for accessibility and diversity in therapeutic modalities.
Mission and Vision
BFF’s mission is clear and compelling: to build a holistic healing center accessible to all those affected by trauma. Their vision extends beyond mere treatment—it encompasses a commitment to offering a variety of therapeutic approaches tailored to individual needs. Recognizing that trauma affects each person differently, BFF aims to provide personalized paths to healing while fostering a supportive community dedicated to recovery and resilience.
Therapy Grants: Making Healing Accessible
Central to BFF’s initiatives is the Therapy Grant Program, designed to make trauma healing more accessible for individuals in Alberta, Canada. This program reflects BFF’s commitment to removing barriers to treatment, ensuring that financial constraints do not hinder access to essential therapeutic services.
How the Therapy Grant Program Works
The Therapy Grant Program provides approved candidates with financial support to undergo trauma-informed therapy. Each recipient is eligible to receive up to $750 towards therapy sessions, with a lifetime maximum of $1,500 per client. This funding is directly paid to provincially certified therapists, covering various trauma-informed therapies such as psychology, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), equine therapy, art therapy, and more.
The application process is straightforward yet thorough, requiring candidates to submit a completed application form along with a fee quote from their chosen therapist. Once approved, payments are disbursed directly to the therapist, ensuring seamless financial support for clients embarking on their healing journey.
The Role of Trauma-Informed Therapists
Integral to BFF’s success are trauma-informed therapists like Kari Adams, registered at Best Choice Counselling & Assessments. These therapists play a crucial role in the healing process, offering specialized expertise and compassionate care tailored to the unique needs of trauma survivors. Through their collaboration with BFF, therapists facilitate a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore trauma, build resilience, and reclaim their sense of self.
Impact and Community Support
Beyond individual healing, BFF fosters valuable conversations about mental health, trauma, and abuse, striving to dismantle stigma and promote understanding. By raising awareness and advocating for trauma survivors, BFF creates a ripple effect of empowerment and support within communities, inspiring hope and resilience.
Expanding Access and Future Goals
While currently serving Alberta, Canada, BFF is actively working towards expanding its services to reach more individuals in need. The foundation’s commitment to growth reflects its dedication to making trauma healing universally accessible, paving the way for a future where survivors everywhere can find the support and resources necessary to thrive.
