Survivor and Social Entrepreneur Brittany Catton Kirk’s solution to scale Sunlight is to create Sunlight U, an online educational subscription-based website focused on healing from trauma.  Our mission is to empower survivors to accelerate their healing and restore their sense of agency and reclaim their lives. Sunlight U addresses and resolves survivors' challenges because it is an online resource that is accessible 24/7. Survivors will recognize and understand that PTSD does not have to be a lifelong diagnosis. Survivors, equipped with science, provided by trauma expert Dr. Shiva Ghaed, survivors will be able to gain a deeper understanding of their symptoms, perpetuating stressors and triggers, and develop healthier coping tools to empower them to move from reactive to responsive with better outcomes.

Sunlight U s a social enterprise with a give-back model- if you are part of a 501(3)(c) who could benefit from free codes to help your participants recover from trauma, please email brittany at Sunlightretreats.org for free online codes. In 2021 and 2022 we have distributed codes to rape survivors, combat veterans, police and survivors of Hurricane Ian.
