Who Do We Serve?

The 1st 28 Foundation was created for you, the woman who is finding her footing after the unthinkable. Whether you are a sexual assault survivor, a domestic violence survivor, or a woman rebuilding after any form of trauma, this is your space. We walk alongside you from the first raw days all the way to the moment you step fully into your recovery and reclaim your life.

We give women survivors the journals, coaching, and community they need to move from surviving to thriving — free of charge.

How We Support Your Healing Journey

Healing Journey

At The 1st 28, we provide compassionate support and practical tools to help women navigate the challenges of trauma recovery. From guided journaling to professional development, our services are designed to empower you every step of the way.

  • Discover the power of writing as a healing tool. Healing starts with a pen and a safe page. We provide free guided journals and downloadable prompts designed to help you process emotions, reduce stress, and rediscover your strength, at your own pace, in your own words.

  • Join us for virtual workshops and access curated resources that inspire growth, resilience, and self-discovery. Our career coaching sessions and workshops are built for women in recovery who are ready to step into new purpose, rebuild confidence, and pursue the career they deserve.


    Our career development resources are available to the public as paid programs. Every purchase funds free access for women referred through our crisis and shelter partnerships. Your investment in yourself helps us reach the women who need this most.

  • Healing is not meant to happen alone. Our survivor community connects women who understand the road you are on. We provide encouragement, shared resources, and the reminder that you are not alone in this.
