Kansas City Rescue Mission Women’s Ministries

The 20-bed KCRM Womens Center provides a safe, homelike environment where traumatized women can find hope, peace and security as they work to overcome life-challenging barriers to stability and success.

Most of the Womens Centers residents were sexually abused as children and have coped with their pain through drugs, alcohol, gambling, hoarding and other addictions. Many have spent time behind bars, prostituted for money, food or shelter, and have suffered continued physical and sexual abuse as adults.

The KCRM Womens Center provides each resident with a long-term recovery and case management program designed just for her. After an intake assessment, she is paired with a case manager and certified counselor to determine a course of objectives that guide her toward freedom from the past and hope for the future.

Clinical case managers and counselors at the KCRM Womens Center work with each client to achieve these outcomes:
    Ongoing addiction recovery with support
    A sustainable mental health treatment plan
    A reliable stream of income
    A productive lifestyle through volunteerism or a paying job
    A support network that includes a doctor or clinic
    Appropriate housing
