About Us
Our Team
Better Because Collective stands as a post-traumatic growth-focused 501(c)3 non-profit, driven by a team of dedicated volunteers. Our collective passion revolves around providing a platform for people to tell their stories of post-traumatic growth, on their own terms, as trauma resources.
It would not be possible to complete our mission without the amazing volunteers who keep Better because Collective running!
We love what we do and we do it with passion. We are always on the lookout for devoted individuals to join our team of amazing volunteers to build community around post-traumatic growth.

Founder's Story
Our founding mission stems from one phrase: “I BECAME BETTER BECAUSE…”
In the midst of a traumatic and trying medical ordeal, our founder took it upon herself to take control of her own narrative, turning it into a journey from trauma to post-traumatic growth.
“When I first started to share my story, I felt like my past was finally serving a purpose,” said Rebecca, “to help people avoid the pitfalls I fell into headfirst, to show others how I learned to thrive, and give them the option to apply what I learned to their lives.”
