Has your neighborhood or community experienced stress, trauma, loss or violence? We encourage you to contact us. The Network of Neighbors Responding to Violence is a network of community members trained to support—and lead—responses to stress, trauma, loss, and violence within their own communities. The Network is not a violence-prevention or anti-violence program. Instead, the Network is focused on addressing the impact of trauma on individuals and communities. The Network does not just respond to violence. The Network responds to whatever the community experiences as violence, loss, stress, or trauma. Network interventions take place in response to a specific incident of violence or trauma—or in response to ongoing circumstances that may be stressful, including continued exposure to violence or trauma.

our vision

Our vision is to provide culturally competent, holistic, and wellness-focused services that promote women's social-emotional development, prevent mental health challenges, and address social-emotional problems that currently exist. We will do this by using evidence-based strategies in our services to women reluctant to seek therapy; by sharing stories of other women who have gone through similar challenges. Categorize into four seasons of life, single life, motherhood, single motherhood, and marriage. Through our podcast, we will do so through our exclusive curated safe space, blogs, and promoting local self-care workshops and events.

Aiding women seeking alternative and holistic support who are in the process of healing and looking for an unorthodox way of therapy. In part acting as the liaison for women who are reluctant to seek clinical therapy, most importantly we fund* the events/services/programs*. Money shouldn't be in the way of your healing journey and this is where Unorthodox Therapy comes in.
