When there is abuse at home, a survivor is often choosing between violence and having nowhere to go. Our transitional housing fills the gap between crisis and stability with safe, free housing for women and children on our campus.

It is a dual-generation, wrap-around program with coordinated care from our social work team — up to two years in residence and up to a year of support after a family moves on.

• Cottage housing on a private campus, at no cost to the family
• Admissions include a written application and an interview — this process can take time, and there is often a wait list
• Need emergency shelter now? Call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 for a referral

Free individual and group therapy provided by licensed clinical social workers for survivors of trauma and abuse — available to all women and children in the community, with a goal of reducing symptoms so life gets better to live.

• Approaches: CBT, DBT, CPT, sand tray, IFS, Prolonged Exposure and EMDR
• For children: certified play therapy
• Access: request an appointment and we’ll take it from there

Free services rooted in social work values — the dignity and worth of every human, and each client’s right to self-determination. Open to any woman who has experienced abuse.

• Information and referrals to trusted community resources
• Assessments, skill-building and training built around the goals the client names first
