Don't be afraid to reach out.

The effects of violence can continue long after the incident is over.

Fear should never be mistaken for love.

If someone controls:
• what you wear
• who you speak to
• where you go
• how you express yourself

That is not care. That is control.

Too many survivors are left trying to navigate fear, trauma, legal systems, court processes, and safety planning alone. That’s why BREATHE exists.

BREATHE provides culturally responsive, trauma-informed support for Black victims and survivors of crime, including:
▪️ Emotional and mental health support
▪️ Court navigation assistance
▪️ Referrals to legal services and advocacy supports
▪️ Help understanding rights and options
▪️ Connections to trusted community organizations
▪️ Support for individuals who are justice-involved or navigating the justice system

Reaching out for help does not mean you’re weak. It means you deserve safety, support, and information.

📞 Call BREATHE: 𝟏-𝟖𝟎𝟎-𝟗𝟏𝟕-𝟎𝟐𝟕𝟐

No one should have to choose between surviving and being heard.
