Welcome to Kat’s Kastle Foundation A home for healing, truth, connection.
For survivors seeking connection or simply a safe place to land, without judgment, fixing, or saving.
About Us
Our Mission
At Kat’s Kastle Foundation, we believe healing is a right—not a privilege.
We empower survivors of domestic violence by offering trauma-informed support, community connection, and sacred healing spaces.
This isn’t about saving anyone. It’s about walking beside them.
We help survivors turn pain into purpose and rise, defined not by what they’ve endured, but by who they’re becoming.
What We Offer
At Kat’s Kastle Foundation, we believe every survivor deserves more than just safety.
They deserve connection, community, and a space where truth can be spoken out loud.
Founded by Kat Bartlett, survivor, speaker, and author of I Got Out, Kat’s Kastle is not a shelter—it’s a sanctuary. We don’t come to “rescue” anyone. We sit beside survivors, offering conversation, compassion, and community as they rebuild their lives on their own terms.
Our Vision
Our Vision
A world where every survivor feels safe, supported, and seen. At Kat’s Kastle Foundation, we don’t rescue, we stand beside you, offering strength, connection, and the courage to rebuild.

TRUTH OUT LOUD: THE SURVIVOR SPEAK-EASY SERIES
A community outreach program of Kat’s Kastle Foundation
The Survivor Speak-Easy Series is a healing-centered, truth-telling experience where survivors take the mic and reclaim their voices—raw, real, and unfiltered.
Created by Kat Bartlett, founder of Kat’s Kastle, this series brings survivor-led storytelling into schools, shelters, and community spaces across Massachusetts and beyond.
These aren’t speeches. They’re sacred conversations—alive with truth, strength, grit, laughter, and healing.
✨ Survivors stand up and share their lived experience.
✨ Audiences witness the power of unfiltered storytelling.
✨ Communities connect through courage, honesty, and hope.
