Mint & Needle (Middletown, DE) has launched a new non-profit organization, Empowerment Beyond Scars, which will be dedicated to healing both visible and hidden scars. The organization, in partnership with international pharmaceutical companies, will provide regenerative medical aesthetic services free of charge to survivors of physical abuse and violence in interpersonal relationships. “Empowerment Beyond Scars exists to transform pain into power,” says Brandi Gregge, MSN, FNP-BC, founder of Empowerment Beyond Scars and founder and medical director of Mint & Needle, a medical aesthetics practice based in Middletown, Delaware. “This initiative was catalyzed by my own personal experience, and is about granting other survivors the opportunity to rewrite their narratives, revealing the beauty and strength that has always resided within, waiting to be reclaimed.”
By establishing Empowerment Beyond Scars as a standalone nonprofit organization, Gregge aims to create a national network of medical aesthetic providers. Additionally, Empowerment Beyond Scars will partner with local and national healthcare, nonprofit, and government agencies to share information and educational resources about available treatments and services.
