A chrysalis (Crisálida in Spanish) is a transitional state from one way of being to another way of being. Crisálida was formally established in 2020 by Glory McDaniel to be a meaningful and relevant resource and support to Hispanic, Latine and other people of color struggling with complex trauma, domestic violence, and abuse. Crisálida is built on three core beliefs: (1) people need healthy people in their lives; (2) we can recover, learn, and thrive; and (3) we heal in relationship, not in isolation. Crisálida’s short-term and long-term objectives are to connect participants with community resources (legal, medical, dental, occupational, educational, social) while attending to their immediate existential needs (housing, food, transportation) and psychological needs (trauma-informed, culturally responsive counseling, peer coaching, and recovery maintenance support). People heal and become meaningful and valuable members of their communities when given the opportunity and resources to address the trauma and abuse they have experienced.
Crisálida's mission is to help families struggling with Domestic Violence, Intimate Partner Violence, Substance use disorders, Mental health disorders, and complex trauma find a safe haven in Crisálida's services, professional networks, and community partners, with the help of our generous donors.
Crisálida envisions vibrant communities where every woman of color, and their children, have access to opportunities and resources so they can achieve their fullest potential and participate in and contribute to all aspects of life. Crisálida’s mission is to help women, their families and communities - struggling with physical, emotional, and psychological pain - by leveraging Crisálida’s in-house resources and services, professional networks, community partners, and generous donors. As a community resource, Crisálida’s mission is to provide life-changing opportunities to Hispanic, Latine, and other women of color struggling with domestic violence, intimate partner violence, substance use disorders, mental health disorders, complex trauma, and potentially life-threatening circumstances.
