Every step supports the Breaking Free Initiative at Reid State Community College — a prevention program that empowers students to recognize unhealthy relationship behaviors, strengthen communication skills, and break cycles of dating and domestic violence.

This initiative is made possible through the Megan Montgomery Foundation of Birmingham and incorporates evidence-based resources inspired by the One Love Foundation.
