About Us
The SHE RECOVERS® FOUNDATION is a 501(c)(3) non-profit public charity with a growing and evolving community currently consisting of more than 325,000 women – and non-binary individuals who identify with women’s communities.
Our Mission is to inspire hope, reduce stigma and empower women in or seeking recovery for mental health issues, addiction, and other life challenges to increase their recovery capital, heal themselves, and help others to do the same.
