HER is a survivor-led, peer-based organization, founded by Natasha Guynes.
While Natasha is a fearless leader, she knows the strength of the community. The “by” her is frequently attributed to Natasha. She would be the first to say that at any part of the day, HER can be led by strength, resilience, and even the unexpected by any of the women in our growing community.
At HER, we are all treated like human beings, and we know first-hand that where we start in life does not have to be where we end.HER Resiliency Center (HER) utilizes a person-centered and trauma-informed approach. We know healing as an individualized process. We understand that treatment and recovery is a process unique to each woman, and it is deeper than any physical wounds. More importantly, we know the journey is possible. We view each woman’s goal as attainable, and we walk beside her each day, shoulder to shoulder, so she doesn’t have to do it alone. At HER, we’ve seen what can happen as she gains the tools needed for her future, finds her power, and thus, her empowerment. It’s beautiful, and it’s beautiful to see her then share those tools with the next woman.
We relate because many of us have been HER.
We connect with HER, and we are lucky to be a part of HER journey towards the greatness she defines for herself.
We push barriers aside and hurdle the insurmountable with HER so that little can stand in the way of HER getting the support she needs.
