Send us Fan Mail When Chelsea Brown’s partner was diagnosed with schizophrenia and later took his own life, her world collapsed overnight. Within weeks, she went from a stay-at-home hockey mom to sleeping in trap houses, using meth, and running for her life. What followed was years of violence, addiction, and survival — including being shot in the head by an abusive partner, miscarriages from repeated assaults, and fighting for her children while battling homelessness and systemic neglect. But Chelsea survived. Through courage, community support, and sheer determination, she escaped and built something extraordinary — Warriors Way Forward, an advocacy organization pushing for trauma-informed policing and systemic reform for domestic violence survivors. Her story is one of unimaginable pain turned into purpose — a reminder that even in the darkest places, warriors rise. ✅ Check SEIU West ✅ Wellness News ✅ Bunny Hugs and Mental Health ✅ Parenting in the Storm Chelsea's links Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/17oZzziCTa/?mibextid=wwXIfr New's publications https://edmontonjournal.com/news/local-news/edmonton-woman-says-police-didnt-take-domestic-violence-case-seriously https://edmontonjournal.com/news/local-news/domestic-abuse-femicide-edmonton-alberta ============= Find Donna on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/donna.gilchrist.794 Support the show SEIU-West Wellness News Parenting in the Storm Check out Parenting in the Storm HERE Are you getting something from our content?
