Empowering survivors after the crisis with support, safety, and community.
BuildHER empowers women to be H.A.P.P.Y – (Healed, Appreciated, Protected, Powerful and Yourself).
This 8-week program offers guidance, advocacy, and community to help you rebuild life on your terms.
Through events, trainings, and outreach, BuildHER brings real conversations about domestic abuse into the community.
Because lasting change begins when we all get involved.
We partner with organizations and individuals working to end domestic abuse. Alone we make noise together we make an IMPACT!
BuildHER Collaboration empowers survivors of domestic abuse and sexual trauma by providing essential resources, support and advocacy. We educate the community about healthy relationships, consent and the impact of domestic abuse on our communities and families. By strengthening partnerships and advocating for policy changes, we strive to create a world free of abuse and violence.
The support group helped me find my voice. Their support and nonjudgemental atmosphere empowered me to reclaim my life. I am forever grateful for their dedication and compassion.

Have you ever felt you were being taken advantage of or unappreciated? If you live in this world, you have felt that way at least once in your life. Because I am a glass half full type of person, I will say it wasn’t intentional or deliberate. Most people don’t know how to show appreciation…
You are not self-centered! Read that again!
