Today we honor the powerful women who shape our work, strengthen our communities, and help build a more just and compassionate future.
As a matriarchal, women- and survivor-led organization, the HIR Wellness Institute is guided by visionary leadership rooted in courage, purpose, and a deep commitment to collective healing.
Our leadership reflects this commitment: seven of our eight Board of Directors are women and all are parents, our board chair is an Indigenous woman, and our entire C-level leadership team is made up of Native/Indigenous women who lead with integrity, strategic vision, and an unwavering dedication to building an institution that will serve survivors, centers the well-being of our children and families, and communities for generations to come.
We are equally proud that the heart of our organization is a team made up largely of women—healers, advocates, therapists, field instructors, and leaders—who show up every day with compassion, expertise, and determination. Their work powers our mission to provide free, accessible, and culturally grounded mental health care to survivors of violence.
Today, we celebrate the women who carry stories of resilience, intergenerational wisdom, and transformative leadership. Women who center community care, challenge systems, and create new pathways for healing and innovation.
We see you.
We honor you.
And we are proud to walk beside you as we continue building a future rooted in equity, dignity, and collective well-being. ✨
