Our Programs
We serve women and their children who have experienced the trauma of domestic abuse. Our goal is to stop harmful cycles of abuse in their lives by intervening in a way that promotes emotionally healthy living, informed decision-making, and most importantly safety. Through our programs and services, we empower our clients to thrive not just survive.
Soul Care Support Group
Our Soul Care Support Group empowers women who have survived domestic abuse. Through evidence-based practices, we give women a safe space to voice their concerns, fears, frustrations—even their anger. In the group, led by a professional counselor and a master’s level spiritual director, women are educated on how to manage triggers, how to set boundaries, and how to cope with anxiety. Group facilitators use proven strategies to help women process trauma as they move towards emotionally healthy living.
Food on the Table
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services defines food insecurity as the "limited or uncertain availability of or access to nutritionally adequate and safe foods." This program has made it possible for women and their children to receive food during the most difficult times. The bi-weekly program, managed by volunteers, supports food security for up to 20 women and their children. It is by far, one of the best programs we offer.
