OUR
PROGRAMS
Break The Cycle USA prides itself on being the shoulder for people to lean on. We foster and develop collaborative relationships with dynamic community partners to execute viable programs that extend the lifeline to help rescue, restore, and reinvigorate individuals who feel life’s circumstances have them trapped in hopelessness and helplessness. We extend our hearts more, we expand our touch more, and promote growth.
Domestic Violence/Trafficking
Break The Cycle USA champions women in domestic violence situations by advocating for funding that will assist battered women's shelters. In order for women breaking the cycle of abuse they must first have a place to start over and more often than not, that will be a shelter.

At Risk Youth & Foster Care
Our mission is to shed light on the broken foster care system. Over 70% of domestic minor trafficking victims come from Social Services and the Foster Care System. We work specifically with juveniles in the justice system who have committed crimes while being victimized, trafficked, and sexually exploited. Our goal is to educate the courts, judges, and system that these crimes were done while being victimized and in many cases were forced. In conjunction with CPS and DFPS we ensure that children in the foster care system and their families are provided with the best care possible.

Human Trafficking & Advocacy
It is crucial for human trafficking survivors and their families to have support. We accompany human trafficking minors and adults to court connecting them with legal counsel and other resources like medical care providers, and trauma therapy professionals. Through new legislation we can combat human trafficking and create harsher penalties for predators. Our advocates continue to present to congress members, intricately explaining how to identify victims being trafficked through the border. By educating our communities and law makers on how to identify human trafficking victims/survivors we can Break The Cycle.
