We focus on breaking the chains of mental health and body-image struggles. While providing artistic programming and services for those looking to “link” with others on their healthy mental and emotional wellness journeys. We use the power of art and expression to provide programs, events, and services to build efficacy in the areas of mental health and body-image struggles, cancer, and eating disorders. - Bringing tools, skills, and shared lived experiences to life. - Areas that address problematic social media use and negative mental health among youth and young adults, productions integrating dance with mind/body wellness principles, and unique beauty experiences for cancer survivors. #### [![](https://www.btcfcares.org/hs-fs/hubfs/How_To_Love_Yourselfiez-600dpihires-1.jpg?width=200&height=200&name=How_To_Love_Yourselfiez-600dpihires-1.jpg)](https://www.btcfcares.org/htlys?hsLang=en) #### Online Social Media Literacy Youth Program #### [![](https://www.btcfcares.org/hs-fs/hubfs/BigCNewMelogo%20(1).png?width=252&height=220&name=BigCNewMelogo%20(1).png)](https://www.btcfcares.org/big-c-new-me?hsLang=en) #### Supporting Cancer Survivors & Caregivers #### [![](https://www.btcfcares.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Power%20Crew%20logo_HR-1.gif?width=200&height=196&name=Power%20Crew%20logo_HR-1.gif)](https://www.btcfcares.org/big-c-new-me?hsLang=en) #### Self-Enrichment & Confidence-Building #### [![](https://www.btcfcares.org/hs-fs/hubfs/7CHAIRS-LOGO-WHITE-DIGITAL.png?width=210&height=210&name=7CHAIRS-LOGO-WHITE-DIGITAL.png)](https://breakingthechainsfoundation.org/7-chairs-performance/) #### Live Performance #### [![](https://www.btcfcares.org/hs-fs/hubfs/7-Chairs-Workshop-705x705.png?width=200&height=200&name=7-Chairs-Workshop-705x705.png)](https://www.btcfcares.org/7-chairs-workshop?hsLang=en) #### Storytelling Dance and Movement Experience #### [![](https://www.btcfcares.org/hs-fs/hubfs/ANONYMOUS_-Stories-Told-From-7-Chairs-705x705.png?width=200&height=200&name=ANONYMOUS_-Stories-Told-From-7-Chairs-705x705.png)](https://breakingthechainsfoundation.org/anonymous/) #### Live Stage Performance   #### [![](https://www.btcfcares.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Inside-Out-705x705.png?width=200&height=200&name=Inside-Out-705x705.png)](https://breakingthechainsfoundation.org/virtual-workshop/) #### Movement Workshop for Connection and Renewal ![](https://www.btcfcares.org/hubfs/Website-Banner-2k-1500x630.png) ## IMPACT AND COMMUNITY [![ic1-1](https://www.btcfcares.org/hubfs/ic1-1.png "ic1-1")](https://www.btcfcares.org/resources?hsLang=en) [![ic2](https://www.btcfcares.org/hubfs/ic2.png "ic2")](https://www.btcfcares.org/events?hsLang=en) [![Untitled-1](https://www.btcfcares.org/hubfs/Untitled-1.png "Untitled-1")](https://breakingthechainsfoundation.org/contributors/) [![ic4](https://www.btcfcares.org/hubfs/ic4.png "ic4")](https://breakingthechainsfoundation.org/meet-our-featured-artist/) [![ic5-2](https://www.btcfcares.org/hubfs/ic5-2.png "ic5-2")](https://www.btcfcares.org/connect?hsLang=en) ## “ART SPEAKS TO OUR NEED TO REVEAL, HEAL, AND TRANSFORM.” #### [![](https://www.btcfcares.org/hs-fs/hubfs/FindingAliceposterlaurels-495x400.jpg?width=248&height=200&name=FindingAliceposterlaurels-495x400.jpg)](https://breakingthechainsfoundation.org/finding-alice/) #### Finding Alice   #### [![](https://www.btcfcares.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Chef%20G.png?width=244&height=200&name=Chef%20G.png)](https://breakingthechainsfoundation.org/culinary-art/) #### Canvas of Culinary Art   #### [![](https://www.btcfcares.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Krista-Stryker-Main-Photo.jpg?width=200&height=237&name=Krista-Stryker-Main-Photo.jpg)](https://breakingthechainsfoundation.org/health-fitness-conversations/) #### Health & Wellness Conversations #### [![](https://www.btcfcares.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Changelarge2-845x684.jpg?width=247&height=200&name=Changelarge2-845x684.jpg)](https://youtu.be/r3pZ2Sjx8jg?si=WhjqJ34sma0m_QHo) #### Community & Support   - ![Center-For-Non-Profit-Excellence-Virginia](https://www.btcfcares.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Center-For-Non-Profit-Excellence-Virginia.png?width=300&height=300&name=Center-For-Non-Profit-Excellence-Virginia.png) - ![Burbank-Chamber-of-Commerce-Logo-1-705x423](https://www.btcfcares.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Burbank-Chamber-of-Commerce-Logo-1-705x423.png?width=705&height=423&name=Burbank-Chamber-of-Commerce-Logo-1-705x423.png) - ![cacv-logo-header-100](https://www.btcfcares.org/hs-fs/hubfs/cacv-logo-header-100.webp?width=282&height=100&name=cacv-logo-header-100.webp) - ![Sunbiz-Division-of-Corporations-logo](https://www.btcfcares.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Sunbiz-Division-of-Corporations-logo.webp?width=200&height=200&name=Sunbiz-Division-of-Corporations-logo.webp) - ![candid-seal-gold-2026](https://www.btcfcares.org/hs-fs/hubfs/candid-seal-gold-2026.png?width=225&height=225&name=candid-seal-gold-2026.png) Copyright © Breaking The Chains Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization 2026.
