This probably isn’t the correct answer but my aunt has had a jasmine vine like this for my whole life (26 years) and hers runs up a tree. Both the jasmine and the tree are still thriving
You can get a metal trellis and kinda squeeze it in to support the lattice. Or a cheap fix would be to buy some long dowel rods and attach them to the lattice so they act as support!
I have a star jasmine that I planted in 2012 that I hack back to the stalk every few years. It comes back more vibrant each time. If you want to replace the broken lattice, you can replace with thicker wood or metal. Hack the jasmine back, replace the lattice and watch it grow back.
Mine thrives with regular watering and a 10-15-10 liquid fertilizer (I use Schulz) every 2 weeks/ month in the growing season. That formula helps to put its energy into blooming and it works wonders for mine.
Edit: oops! I read too fast and didn’t realize you meant literal support!

I have nothing to add other than I like your dawg!
I second the cut back and trellis replacing.
I learned the lesson the hard way to never install a trellis you don’t expect to last a decade – after my climbing roses took off, fixing that scenario was both enlightening and painful…
A bit more trellis, and tell jasmine she’s pretty.
