One Voice to
Break the Silence
for All
We started as a grassroots organization over 10 years ago, and going strong. Today, we’re a worldwide organization that has become the national voice against domestic violence.
This is a place for all to come and “Break the Silence.”
OUR HISTORY
BTSADV was founded in 2011 when Kristen Faith Sharpe, a survivor of domestic violence, shared her story on social media. This opened the floodgates for other survivors to feel empowered enough to speak up and share their stories as well.
It soon became clear that there was a need for an organization focused on survivor support. Our 501(c)3 was officially filed in 2012, making us Break The Silence Against Domestic Violence Inc.
Programs and services were opened to survivors of domestic violence by 2013.
By the following year, we were able to quadruple the amount of support we offered to survivors seeking aftercare assistance. National media outlets started to take notice of the work our organization was doing.
Just a few short years later, we have grown to become one of the top 125 nonprofits on social media and currently reach over 30 million viewers on our digital platforms search week.
