Break The Silence Against Domestic Violence, often abbreviated as BTSADV, is a unique, multi-faceted, non-profit organization. Our mission is to empower victims, survivors, and families affected by domestic violence, so that they can be free to tell their stories, overcome their fears, and go on to thrive.Break The Silence Against Domestic Violence was created by one survivor sharing her story. Since its inception, it has grown to the largest online network of survivors and angel families (families that have lost a loved one to domestic violence). BTSADV creates a community of healing and support that many survivors or families need to begin to thrive after abuse.
