Safe Space Organization
Safe Space Organization strives to change the conversation around mental health by educating, connecting and supporting others through a peer-to-peer network. Safe Space is a community hub with therapeutic alternatives and prevention methodology that empowers individuals to self manage their mental health by accessing community resources, providing a space and empowering the process of healing.
Tracy founded Safe Space Organization to provide a haven for individuals recovering from eating disorders, based on her own need for support. She believes in the power of community and connection to enhance mental health. During COVID, the realization came that it was not just individuals in recovery that needed this community, it was everyone. The organization educates and empowers through creative outlets and traditional methods, connecting members to resources and peers for community support.
