Abuse—whether physical, mental, or emotional—can leave deep scars that are difficult to heal. Survivors often carry the weight of trauma, self-doubt, and fear long after the abuse has ended. At The Suggs Foundation, we believe that every survivor deserves a chance to heal, rebuild, and rediscover their worth.

One survivor shared her powerful story of enduring years of mental and physical abuse in silence. For her, every day was a battle to find the courage to leave and reclaim her life. With the support of loved ones and programs like the #ProtectUs initiative, she found the tools to heal and rebuild her confidence.

Through self-care workshops, self-defense training, and access to counseling, The Suggs Foundation helps survivors take the first steps toward recovery. Surviving abuse is not just about leaving the situation; it’s about finding the strength to rebuild your life on your terms. Every step forward is a victory, and no one should have to face the journey alone.
