My Story

When I was 16 years old I attended a recovery program in the Mental Health Association of Central Florida after being diagnosed with clinical depression and being sexually assaulted over a year and a half prior. The healing tactics I learned have been carried with me everyday, even through present day college. In August of 2021 I had to pull those strategies back out due to a close friend abruptly passing away. She was the ignitor behind "Bree's Boxes" being established - to give others opportunities to communicate with loved ones about their trauma, past or current. My trauma was not my fault, but it was my responsibility to find the necessary help to heal. You have a choice to do something out of your comfort zone. These boxes are a guide to figuring out what method works for you while creating a safe foundation for expression. But you don't have to do it alone. When it's time to heal, we're here to listen.
