Residential Programs
Safe Home
It is often a very traumatic experience for a family to come to a safe home for the first time. In addition to fleeing an abusive relationship, the family is faced with living in an unknown environment. We recognize the difficult steps a family had to make prior to coming to our agency and we attempt to provide a homelike setting in a sensitive and caring environment.
While residing in the safe home, guests are provided with basic needs such as: food, clothing, linens, personal items, furniture and household items. Additionally, extensive case management services are provided for all family members through our Residential Team. A clinical counselor is available to families to help deal with their emotional stress and trauma.
Families learn to live without fear and abuse, and work to create a life of peace.
