Rise & Thrive

A safe, strategic space for women rebuilding after family violence

You’ve survived the worst. Now it’s time to rebuild, with clarity, confidence, and support that actually understands what you’ve been through.

Rise & Thrive is a trauma-informed mentoring program created specifically for women navigating life after domestic abuse, coercive control, betrayal, or post-separation violence. It’s a space to be seen, supported, and equipped, not judged or rushed.

Led by Liana Papoutsis, a lived experience advocate, academic, and expert mentor, this program blends practical strategy with deep care. Because you’re not just surviving anymore. You’re rising.

A Note from Liana

“I built Rise & Thrive for the woman I once was, smart, exhausted, and trying to survive systems that didn’t feel made for me. If you’re navigating the aftermath of abuse and want to move forward with someone who gets it, I’m here. You don’t have to do it alone.”
