OUR MISSION
M61 exists to empower women and girls to ROOT, RISE, and THRIVE by cultivating protective factors, supporting survivors on their healing journey, and fostering personal growth – igniting lasting change.
ROOT
We believe in the power of prevention as the foundation for lasting change. By addressing challenges before they arise, we empower women and girls to build strong, resilient lives, ensuring they have the tools to avoid trauma and adversity.
RISE
We are committed to guiding women and girls on their healing journeys. Through support, understanding, and empowerment, we help them rise above their experiences, reclaim their voices, and step into their full potential.
THRIVE
We foster a vibrant, empowered community where women and girls are supported in their growth, leadership, and success. Together, we create environments where individuals thrive—finding strength in one another and in the opportunities before them.
M61 recognizes sexual assault, domestic violence, and generational trauma are existing issues for women and girls in our very own backyard and throughout the world. Long-term aftercare and coaching solutions are limited. The healing journey for a trauma survivor is long and unique to each survivor. This nonprofit exists to bridge the gap for women and provide a safe space for community and healing.
Targeted programs are designed to connect women through creative play and shared trauma experiences, coach women to change their existing circumstances and break generational cycles, and give control of mind and body back to survivors of abuse.
M61 has worked diligently since August, 2020 to create a model that is easily sustainable and to develop partnerships with existing area organizations in an effort to be a valuable after-care and coaching solution. M61’s ultimate vision is to see women and girls nourished and thriving in relationships and opportunity.
