About Us
The WIN Resilience Resource Centers improve life circumstances through safety, peer-leadership, and well-trained staff. The center is a space where formerly incarcerated individuals can be themselves and be treated with respect and dignity. The Resilience Resource Center provides gender-responsive, evidence-based, trauma-informed programs. Supports include service navigation and resources to meet individualized self-identified needs. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive range of services and resources through rituals of care and attentiveness to individual life challenges that they face.

Through WIN, Bethany builds an environment based on love and trust, allowing residents to move forward with their lives. Bethany envisions WIN Recovery homes throughout Illinois. She hopes to invest in other people’s dreams the way Ms. Burton invested in hers.
