Care for the Women Who Lead—and All Who Serve
At Her Term, we believe rest is resistance and healing is leadership. Since 2020, we’ve quietly supported Georgia’s Democratic women elected officials and candidates through wellness retreats, therapy, and emotional support.
In light of recent national events and the rising mental toll of public service, we’re temporarily expanding our wellness services to include all Democratic state legislators, regardless of gender.
