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

“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.
