Tina Bailey, a domestic abuse survivor decided to use her voice to create a platform that brings organizations and individuals together to fight for those unable to use their own voice ALL THE TIME! Providing services is one thing; fighting to change policies is another. Let’s do this.

DEEPER DIVE!

At BuildHER Collaboration, our mission is deeply personal. It’s born from the journey of our founder, Tina Bailey, a survivor who intimately understands that leaving an abusive situation is just the first courageous step. Tina knows the quiet battles that linger long after the physical wounds heal—the profound challenge of rebuilding trust, the struggle to find your footing financially, and the complex process of grieving losses that aren’t always visible.

Tina’s experience taught her that true healing extends beyond safety; it demands a reconnection with self-worth, a re-establishment of independence, and the forging of new, healthy connections. She faced the daunting task of navigating financial complexities, rediscovering her own voice, and building a life from the ground up. This firsthand understanding is the cornerstone of BuildHER Collaboration.

If you’re reading this as a survivor, Tina wants you to know that the confusion, the self-doubt, and the lingering pain you might feel are valid. They are normal parts of a courageous healing journey. She understands the invisible scars and the quiet strength it takes to seek normalcy. Her path, and the programs she built, are here to light the way, offering a supportive community where your experiences are understood and your future is within reach. You are not alone in this rebuilding.

For the dedicated advocate seeking to make a deeper impact, Tina champions your tireless efforts. She knows the emotional toll of supporting survivors and the constant search for effective, compassionate strategies. BuildHER Collaboration offers resources and insights developed from a survivor’s perspective, providing unique tools and training that can amplify your work and foster truly trauma-informed care.

To our fellow leaders in victim-serving organizations, Tina recognizes the immense weight you carry and the critical need for sustainable support. She founded BuildHER Collaboration not just as a service provider, but as a catalyst for collaborative strength. Tina believes that by working together, sharing insights, and building robust networks, we can combat compassion fatigue, share the load, and ultimately create a more comprehensive and impactful support system for every survivor.

Tina’s journey from surviving to thriving isn’t just a story; it’s the living foundation of BuildHER Collaboration. It’s why every program, every workshop, and every connection is crafted with deep empathy and a clear vision for a future built on resilience, independence, and unwavering support. Join us in building that future.
