The Break Free Foundation advocates to end the stigma of mental health and substance use disorders for those to and through recovery. We provide those who lack the funds to seek behavioral health and rehabilitation services with scholarships through our semi-annual Break Free NYFW runway fundraiser. We also offer monthly virtual events and hope to offer support groups online soon.
Scholarships
The Break Free Foundation seeks to aid individuals and families struggling with their mental health, substance use, and co-occurring disorders, to find viable, quality treatment through tools and resources, education, support, harm reduction, and advocacy. We aid individuals seeking recovery through the Break Free scholarship fund which sends anyone who lacks the financial resources to attend a recovery center to do so at no cost to them.
In 2022 we sent 15 individuals to a recovery center through our two scholarship offerings: one is a general offering that anyone seeking recovery can apply to through our collaboration with 10,000 Beds, and the other one is the Sergeant Tyler Memorial fund for veterans and active service members to attend a treatment facility.
In 2023, we aim to expand our scholarships to include an offering to aid individuals in seeking behavioral health services, as well as to double our scholarship offerings. We have partnered with Recovery Centers of America's South Amboy campus to offer 30 days of inpatient treatment and 30 days of outpatient treatment for 1-2 individuals in need per month for residents of New Jersey. Residents of New York, can attend RCA for a 30-day inpatient program and then attend outpatient services from Realization Center for 120 days.
