'Through the Eyes of Survivors', podcast showcasing powerful stories from survivors of domestic violence.
BTSADV ( NON PROFIT 501 C3 ) programs play a crucial role in supporting individuals experiencing domestic violence by offering a lifeline of understanding, resources, and empowerment. In the isolating darkness of abuse, these programs serve as beacons of hope, providing safe spaces for survivors to share their stories without judgment and to access vital assistance. Beyond immediate aid, they foster a sense of community and solidarity, reminding survivors that they are not alone in their struggles. Through education, programs, and advocacy, BTSADV programs equip survivors with the tools to reclaim their autonomy and rebuild their lives free from fear. In a world where the wounds of domestic violence can run deep and invisible, these programs shine light on the path to healing and liberation1
In response to the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene, we’re extending our Holidays of Hope program to support children in North Carolina, bringing relief and comfort to families affected by this tragedy. We’re seeking sponsors to help us expand this crucial work. If you or your organization are interested, please click the link below to become a sponsor.
The holidays are often portrayed as a joyful time of year, but for survivors of domestic violence, they can be filled with anxiety, isolation, and stress. Many survivors are struggling to create a safe and peaceful environment for themselves and their families, often while dealing with the lingering trauma of past abuse. The pressures of the season can amplify the challenges they face, making support even more critical.
This is why our Support Line is open 24/7 throughout the holiday season, providing a lifeline for survivors who need a listening ear, guidance, or immediate assistance. We want every survivor to know that they are not alone.

“You can recognize survivors of abuse by their courage. When silence is so very inviting, they step forward and share their truth so others know they aren’t alone.”
We use a variety of platforms to connect survivors and families. From our social media presence to our Survivor Support Line, our volunteers are available 365 days a year.
Our BTSADV family consists of women, men, and children who are survivors of abuse and families affected by abuse. Their passion for helping others is a constant source of support and connection.
Once clients receive the additional support they need from us, they are equipped and inspired to advocate for others. Encouraging advocacy enables us to build upon our mission with a growing team of volunteers.
All it took was the strength for one domestic violence survivor, BTSADV’s founder, to tell her story for a wildfire of bravery to start. BTSADV was founded and continues to serve the mission of survivors breaking their silence against domestic violence. Sharing your story not only brings healing to yourself but helps provide hope to current victims or fellow survivors of domestic violence.
