Our survivors are often referred to us or they find us online. We have a hotline that is covered 24/7.
We offer a faith-based, 4-step program that focuses on Mind, Body, Spirit & Soul. By addressing all of these elements, the survivors have the tools they need for this lifeline journey to heal the complex trauma they have endured.
As the survivors progress through the program, they have the option to move into the Transition House to practice living independently with our support. Once she moves on her own we provide After-Care so if there are issues that come up, we are here to help.
