Lea S. Denny, Ms, Lpc, Ncc, Nmt Email and Phone Number
Founder of the HIR Wellness Institute that was established as a nonprofit 501 (c)3 in 2017. HIR stands for Healing Intergenerational Roots. At HIR we provide all our services at no-cost to our relatives (clients).We are a survivor and women led matriarchal organization providing the next generation of care to victims of crime and violence. We seek to learn from our ancestors’ teachings and the ways of governance that worked for the global majority centuries prior to colonization, we invite our Indigenous roles into colonial spaces. Our ways are from many differing nations and our resilience has always rooted in the health and wellbeing of our communities while we thrive through social & value-based economies.Our mission is to increase mental health accessibility and inclusivity for health justice through demonetizing the relationships between the mental health systems, and those seeking mental health services within Indigenous and historically under-invested and therefore chronically underserved communities. We liberate the practice, pedagogy, service delivery, and training of mental health by stewarding matriarchal shared-leadership of the Community Activated Medicine (CAM™) Framework™ and Intergenerational Healing Approach™.HIR's motto is “Illness becomes Wellness when I becomes We. Healing All Nations - One Tribe”. In cultivating Community Activated Medicine (CAM) together we heal our village through wellness; we believe the people are the medicine.
