Help Her Heal Campaign writing with pretty and colorful background-1

She Deserves to Heal

They are our mothers, sisters, partners, wives, friends, workers, leaders — the backbone of our communities. But right now, they’re suffering in silence.
The Help Her Heal Campaign ensures that women with no resources receive the care they need — because healing shouldn’t be a luxury.
When women recover, the world recovers.
 
Friendly House is a pilot program for change.
The ecosystem of behavioral health needs to shift — and we are part of that shift.
Right now, if you have resources, you get access to cutting-edge care.
If you don’t, you’re left to fend for yourself.
We know the system is failing people who desperately need our help.

So now, we are infusing that institutional knowledge — seventy-four years of it —
built on the teachings of Bill W. and Dr. Bob,
with science, sacredness, experiential modalities,
and most importantly, community.

This integration honors where we came from while shaping what recovery can become.
