Services
We recognize and honor the strength of Native survivors
We provide time and space for Native survivors in the Colorado Springs region to be supported in their own Indigenous identity, while receiving services that respond to domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, dating violence, and/or sex trafficking.
Our advocacy goes beyond providing a service or managing a case. We look to restore power in Indigenous societies, undo the impacts of colonization, reclaim Indigenous values that promote healing and balance, and foster community.

Our advocates are here to support American Indian and Alaska Native women who have survived domestic or sexual violence. We will help you navigate complicated systems and access the tools and information you’ll need throughout the process. Our goal is to reduce barriers for you whenever possible.

“We are here to make sure every Indigenous woman in Colorado Springs feels safe and has everything they need to live a happy, healthy, and prosperous life. I like to think of us as everyone’s auntie—we’re here to help you and get you back on your feet.”

Traditional Medicines
We know our traditional ways offer comfort and healing from trauma. Haseya provides access to traditional medicines such as sage, cedar, sweetgrass, or pollen that can help bring relief during trying times. We grow much of these in our garden.

Haseya Women’s Wellness Group
We believe when we heal as individuals, we also heal as a community. Haseya provides Native-specific women’s groups to create community and solidarity between survivors and allies. Our gatherings embrace the strength and beauty of the many Native cultures that make up our Colorado Springs Indigenous community.
Together, we’ll discuss domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, dating violence, and sex trafficking, as well as the Indigenous ways of being and personal sovereignty that are central to healing.

Indigenous Healing Garden
We operate a traditional garden to heal historical and generational trauma through the cultivation of Indigenous plants and medicines. Our garden is a powerful tool to help survivors on their road to recovery. This space provides an outdoor meeting area to hold facilitated Women’s Education Groups away from the isolation many survivors experience. Gardening provides opportunities for socializing, quiet reflection, and relaxation as well as cultural enrichment.
