Our History
The Breathe-Free Project emerged in response to the growing need for trauma-informed, culturally competent care during the early COVID-19 pandemic (March 2020). What began as an advocacy-driven initiative evolved into a structured, evidence-informed programme supporting individuals living with trauma, complex grief, and enduring emotional conditions like domestic abuse.
From April 2020 to December 2021: Drawing from the collective expertise of trauma specialists, mental health professionals, and cultural consultants, the Breathe-Free Project began designing a comprehensive, culturally responsive, trauma-informed care model. This period emphasized continuous refinement through community engagement and survivor feedback, ensuring the model reflected real-world needs and lived experiences.
January 2022 to September 2024: As the programme demonstrated measurable success, Breathe-Free expanded its reach through community outreach, awareness workshops, and educational seminars. These activities promoted the importance of culturally responsive trauma care while building local capacity for ongoing support and collaboration.
From September 2024 – Ongoing: Building on its established foundation, Breathe-Free is now extending its work to co-create community-led therapeutic initiatives. These initiatives blend professional guidance with lived-experience leadership, fostering shared ownership of healing spaces and expanding access to integrative, culturally grounded care across diverse communities.
