OUR MISSION
Reclaim Foundation connects survivors of traumatic events to others from similar situations in order to nurture growth and healing within our online environment. Reclaim Foundation is also aware that when traumatic events occur, family and friends can benefit from a supportive community to uplift the survivors in their lives. With this in mind, Reclaim Foundation provides useful resources to help those affected by trauma. Some of our fundamental goals focus on raising awareness on the occurrence and impact of traumatic events, assisting with some trauma-related costs, and engaging in activities that empower survivors to reclaim their lives in the wake of trauma.
OUR VISION
Reclaim Foundation envisions a world where anyone affected by trauma is surrounded by an empowering community and accessible resources to guide them on their healing journey. We strive to support survivors in reclaiming their lives through encouragement and shared knowledge.
OUR SCOPE OF SUPPORT
At Reclaim Foundation, our scope of trauma support is inclusive to all forms of trauma. We understand that trauma can vary greatly: physical, emotional, psychological, the intersection of these, and more. We believe trauma survivors and anyone impacted by trauma can still find commonality by relating to each other and sharing stories of resilience.
That being said, we are aware that there are nuanced differences between different forms of trauma. To account for these difference, we highlight items that may relate to specific types of trauma, so that you may find the one most applicable to you.
We provide comprehensive trauma support in a variety of ways including our compilations of Resources, Events, the Reclaim Network, and assistance with some trauma-related costs. If there is a specific area of trauma that you would like to see specifically reflected, please feel free to contact us and we would be happy to discuss.
We take our commitment to providing meaningful support seriously and as such, we consult our Advisory Board of mental health professionals for their expertise and guidance.
“It is all too easy to define your life based on your trauma, but the real strength comes from what you do despite it.”

OUR ORIGIN STORY
In the midst of rebuilding her life after experiencing multiple traumatic events within one year, President and Founder Megan Bull wished she could lean on a community of fellow trauma survivors for additional strength.
Noticing the absence of such a community, Megan decided to build her own, and Reclaim Foundation was born in 2020. Throughout her research, she recognized a pattern where trauma resources typically congregate in the exact location where a specific traumatic event occurred. Megan acknowledged this as a major limitation. One of Reclaim Foundation’s fundamental goals is to expand access to meaningful trauma support, regardless of one’s current proximity to the location of their traumatic event. In addition, Megan noticed the trauma community is often underserved and is in great need of comprehensive support.
Megan wants to ensure that the friends and family of survivors can receive guidance to support the survivors in their lives. Megan found that researching trauma support contacts, methods, and organizations can be challenging and isolating during the healing process. To mitigate this, Reclaim Foundation compiles external resources into a singular location while also developing our own resources that will benefit the trauma community. We hope to provide tools that empower survivors to reclaim their lives.
