OUR MISSION
Warriors of Healing is a nonprofit 501c3, multicultural, community based and volunteer centered organization dedicated to building healthy relationships, families and communities free from sexual, domestic, interpersonal violence and suicide prevention. To achieve this mission our organization manages five departments delivering the services of Emergency, Intervention, Prevention, Education, and Advocacy. “We know that violence and suicide are preventable.”
We provide crisis intervention services, mental health, wellness, violence, and suicide prevention education. One on one, we listen, counsel, support, guide and work to heal survivors. One by one, we teach teens about healthy relationships, train girls in self-defense, instruct boys in conflict resolution, and advise on public policy. We organize and we advocate.
OUR MANIFESTO
Violence is the most pervasive yet least recognized human rights abuse in the world. Suicide is growing at an alarming rate, especially amongst the mentally ill population. Many individuals with mental illness go without care or being rehabilitated and in turn become homeless or end up taking their own life. Warriors of Healing has a grassroots origin revolving around volunteer contributions. We are present in the streets, schools, hospitals and community; acting up, advocating against violence and suicide. “One on one, One by one” We understand violence in relationships, families and communities is a root cause for violence in society. To address these problems at it’s core is to change how this problem manifests and magnifies itself in society at large. Changing an individual point of view toward sexual, domestic and interpersonal violence will — one on one, one by one — cause social change, a transformation of society, a world without violence and suicide. Where no child is abused, no wife battered, no friend raped. A world without terror, without threats, without wounds from intentional actions. A society that promotes and encourages mental, physical health and to educate society to live healthy, happy lives. Where the strong provide for the vulnerable, where the vulnerable become empowered, where every kind of family is safe and secure. Where all individuals have a fair and equal chance at the pursuit of happiness in a tolerant and talented society. The agency’s approach toward realizing this vision is to run crisis intervention, violence prevention and education programs tailored towards mental health wellness and fostering healthy relationships.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
We provide services that inform the community about the problem of violence, mental health and suicide prevention.
We believe in the importance of empowering women, youth and children with the greatest range of options and with making their own choices about social, reproductive, or other issues. We value and respect the voice and experience of every member of the Warriors of Healing community and are attentive to the feelings of our constituents.
We believe that violence and Suicide are preventable. We recognize that ending violence and suicide will require energy, support, and commitment from multiple groups in our society. We are part of a large network of people active against violence and suicide thus our work cannot be separate from the awareness and repudiation of sexism, racism, ageism, homophobia, discrimination against people with disabilities, mental illness and other forms of oppression.
The work we do is difficult and challenging. It requires a strong commitment to the community, much perseverance and faith that one day we will celebrate the fact that our services are no longer necessary. Until that day, we will work together to maintain our vigor, flexibility and responsiveness to the needs of our community.
