Rising Light – Overcoming Trauma is a 501c3 charitable organization, which offers an integrated whole-person approach to healing relational trauma caused by ongoing abuse and/or neglect, either as a child or an adult. 

We offer Transformational Life Coaching, provided by a Certified Trauma Professional. 

We also are in the process of developing a self-paced, online program toward transformational trauma healing and empowerment, which will include a moderated online community, small group coaching, and more. 

All of our services are offered on a sliding scale, according to one’s ability to pay.

If someone is in an emotionally and/or physically unsafe living situation, where they are regularly re-traumatized, the first priority must be safety. 

And, we have realized that the lack of dignity and dehumanization that occurs in many homeless shelters, can sometimes be even worse than the situation that a woman has left. 

That is not to say that there are no good shelters. There are! But more often than not, those shelters are overloaded and don't have openings. And the waiting list can be very long. 

𝗦𝗼, 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼?

This “Housing for Healing” initiative was birthed in response to two women we serve becoming homeless in the process of leaving an abusive living situation.

And, a result of being thrust into being homelessness, we witnessed a substantial decline in their physical, mental and emotional states.

Although they both continued to persevere in their trauma healing, the amazing breakthroughs that they had achieved, became overshadowed by constant hyper vigilance and increased feelings of worthlessness due to the lack of dignity or personal safety that they were experiencing in the environment they were thrust into due to homelessness.

... So that these women and others will be able to begin or continue their journey toward healing trauma within an environment where they can experience support, safety, self-agency, dignity, privacy and peace, as they navigate their trauma healing journey.

Your donation will help these women to have their own apartment, where they can experience safety and peace, while continuing to receive transformational life coaching toward trauma healing and empowerment, as well as assistance in identifying their individual gifts and talents that might be able to apply toward developing their own small business to become self supporting.
