I AM STRONG ENOUGH
THE FREEDOM HEART FOUNDATION
The Freedom Heart Foundation is a South Florida based, non-profit organization dedicated to empowering domestic violence survivors with the tools, resources, survivor skills, and self-reliance tactics to help them with a successful path forward free from abuse.
Our focus is to provide support and resources to survivors and families, help end the misunderstandings and stigma surrounding survivors, educate others about the effects of domestic violence, and encourage survivors and families to heal,
break their silence and become strong enough to thrive!
We utilize the tagline I AM STRONG ENOUGH as our main title to further promote a sense of strength to help empower domestic abuse survivors.
Since its inception, the Freedom Heart Foundation has assisted in aid for victims of domestic violence through supporting shelters for women and children whose lives have been shattered by abuse, poverty and homelessness as well as providing outreach to students to help combat relationship violence in high schools.

WHAT IS ABUSE?
Domestic violence can happen to anyone of any race, age, sexual orientation, religion or gender.
It can happen to couples who are married, living together or who are dating.
Domestic violence affects people of all socioeconomic backgrounds
and education levels.
Abuse is a repetitive pattern of behaviors to maintain power and control over an intimate partner.
These are behaviors that physically harm, arouse fear, prevent a partner from doing what they wish
or force them to behave in ways they do not want.
Abuse includes the use of physical and sexual violence, threats and intimidation, emotional abuse and economic deprivation.
Many of these different forms of abuse can be going on at any one time.

STRONG ENOUGH
TO SPEAK UP
STUDENT WORKSHOP
Freedom Heart Foundation's goal is to bring our empowerment workshop, STRONG ENOUGH TO SPEAK UP to as many high schools as possible as a way of stimulating large-scale, honest conversations about relationship violence. The more students that know about what relationship violence is and how dangerous it can be, the more likely they are to step in when they have concerns, potentially saving lives.
