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.
