"Many recovering women come from 
environments that weren't supportive
and nurturing and have suffered either blatant
or hidden abuse."
Stephanie S. Covington

 

More than 1500 women have participated in our programs to date. Many of these women are now contributing members of the wider community as a result of our successful programming. For many, commitment to change has resulted in more independent living, increased self-worth, responsibility, and healing.
