Mission Statement

Our ultimate goal is to expand the opportunity for more women to be aided and supported in their recovery. To not advance service availability would be a disservice to our mission and our professional ethics. Our "Come Home to Heal" initiative has strengthened our resolve to address an inequality that has had a profound effect upon individuals in recovery and their economic futures.
