Hope. Healing. Belonging.
When life feels unbearable, it’s easy to believe you’re alone. But you’re not.
At The Every Body Belongs Foundation, we’re here to remind you that no matter how dark things seem, you matter. You belong.
Fueled by the mission and strength of Vertica Fitness, our nonprofit pairs with local charities to provide suicide prevention resources and life-changing support to individuals at their lowest points. Whether you’ve experienced sexual abuse, substance abuse, or trauma of any kind, we’re here to help you toward healing, hope, and a reason to stay.
Our Mission
Every life has value. Every person deserves a place to feel seen, supported, and safe.
At The Every Body Belongs Foundation, we focus on creating spaces where people can reconnect with themselves and others. Through physical health, emotional support, and community-driven action, we empower individuals to reclaim their lives and rediscover their worth.
How We Help
-
Specialized Support for Diverse Journeys
We’re here for:
• Survivors of sexual abuse seeking safety and empowerment.
• Individuals battling substance abuse who need a path to recovery.
• Anyone overwhelmed by trauma, loss, or isolation.
Through tailored resources, peer-led groups, and mentorship, we meet people where they are and help them take the next step forward

Strategic Partners
We work by supporting, promoting, and donating to local charities that are doing the work in their communities to help those in need.

Healing Through Movement
Through fitness scholarships to many local gyms, we leverage the power of physical health and movement as a foundation for emotional recovery. Exercise isn’t just about fitness—it’s about rebuilding strength, resilience, and belief in yourself.

Support the Mission
Every dollar fuels resources, support, and outreach to help those in crisis find belonging. Together, we can save lives.
Why Belonging Matters
When people feel they belong, they find strength to move forward.
• Trauma isolates. Connection heals. Survivors of abuse and addiction often feel alone in their struggles. We create spaces where they are seen, understood, and supported.
• Physical movement rebuilds confidence. With the foundation of Vertica Fitness, we help individuals strengthen both body and mind.
• Every action saves lives. A single moment of kindness, a listening ear, or a shared resource can be the difference between despair and hope.
Our Impact
Since launching The Every Body Belongs Foundation, we’ve:
• Connected survivors of sexual and substance abuse to dedicated resources.
• Empowered individuals through movement-based healing programs with Vertica Fitness and other local fitness studios.
• Partnered with local communities to expand access to care and support.
But there’s more work to do—and we can do it together.
