About the Founder

Amber Wilkie

Amber Wilkie is a U.S. Navy veteran, survivor, and advocate committed to creating a world where no survivor feels alone. After experiencing sexual assault herself, Amber found that resources were scarce and support was difficult to access in her darkest hour. Rather than allowing silence and isolation to define her journey, she chose to take back her power—not just for herself, but for others like her.

Driven by resilience and a passion for change, Amber founded Break Free to provide the healing, mental health support, and community she once needed. Through this organization, she is dedicated to empowering survivors, fostering hope, and ensuring no one walks this path alone.
