Empowering Peer-Led Support Network
Burdens Of Pain exists to break isolation, restore dignity, and create a real sense of belonging for anyone touched by PTSD or psychosis. Born from lived experience, this nonprofit brings together working professionals, families, caregivers, and allies into a compassionate community. Here, you will not find medical mandates or diagnostic labels - only empathy, practical peer advice, and a safe place to share, grow, and regain control over your life. Each story matters and is honored within our non-clinical, judgment-free space.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide support for stability, control, and management of PTSD and psychosis symptoms. We stand alongside those who face these burdens—whether in fire search and rescue, law enforcement, the military, medical fields, or everyday life. Our goal is to raise awareness and offer a path to recovery for individuals and their loved ones.
Through charitable donations and contributions, The Burdens of Pain Corp aims to build a strong support system and, ultimately, a wellness facility for those in need. We also propose a Charitable Donation Program that partners with companies and the private sector to ease the financial burden, without involving direct government support. Our mission is to help individuals regain a quality of life, supported by both family and a dedicated network of care.
Shared Healing, Lasting Community Bonds
Healing happens when stories are heard and burdens are shared. We invite individuals, families, and friends to join a community where there is no judgment or diagnosis - just understanding from people who walk a similar path. Members exchange symptom management tools, celebrate progress, and support each other's daily challenges. Our groups and events are facilitated by peers, not clinicians, so everyone can contribute to collective growth, strength, and resilient living.
Why Community Matters Here
Unlike others, Burdens Of Pain is driven by people who understand - drawing on real stories and practical solutions. No fees, no paperwork, just mutual respect and hands-on support for individuals, families, and allies navigating PTSD or psychosis.
Empathy From Experience
Support comes directly from those who know the challenges firsthand. Our founder has lived through PTSD and psychosis, creating a uniquely authentic understanding environment for others seeking guidance and friendship.
No Financial Barriers
Everyone deserves access to support, so all our programs are free. Generous donors, volunteers, and community partners make it possible for anyone to attend groups and events without facing costs or complicated applications.
Action. Community. Belonging.
Burdens Of Pain is a movement built on helping each other. By joining, you become part of a community that lifts each other up, learns together, and takes meaningful steps toward recovery and a better quality of life.
Practical Support, Real Connection
Our offerings are grounded in community and lived experience. Free support groups welcome anyone affected by PTSD or psychosis and those who care for them. Community gatherings, both virtual and in-person, foster genuine connection and create joyful moments. A dedicated social network ensures ongoing support and access to resources, all designed to restore a sense of hope, participation, and quality of life for our Seattle community.
