We are not here to compete with the system.
We are here because it failed too many of us.
Too many military-connected women are holding trauma in silence. From MST and PTSD to identity loss and isolation, the stories are real — and backed by data. Nearly 1 in 4 women veterans report experiencing military sexual trauma. Over 50% report serious mental health symptoms — and less than half are receiving consistent care (VA, 2024).
The reasons? Mistrust. Misalignment. Stigma. Burnout.
RISING HerWay: The Women Rising Project, was built in that gap.
Not to replace therapy — but to walk beside it. Not to force vulnerability — but to create a space where it happens naturally, without pressure or performance.
We are a hybrid model, mission-led and sustainable:
RisingHerWay.org fuels our trauma-informed, therapist-led wellness events and Sisterhood Ops.
RiseBeyondHerFoundation.org delivers free access to healing experiences, scholarships, and resources.
RisingHerWay.shop lets women wear their power — and funds everything we do.
Why This Work Matters
Now More Than Ever
Every year, thousands of women veterans and military-connected women return home, not just from service, but from invisible battles few truly see or understand. Most systems weren’t built for HER. So we built something different.
