BREAKING THE CHAINS FOUNDATION

We are committed to the prevention of body-focused and mental well-being stigma. Our mission is to use the power of art and expression to foster creativity, build connections, and create a community in which individuals are able to thrive by transforming research and personal stories into artistic programs aimed at increasing self-love, self-esteem, self-compassion, and self-awareness.
