An average stay in the village is about eight months. During that time, residents work with counselors and advocates to develop goal plans that include specific life and therapeutic goals. While each case is unique, the end goal for most residents includes independent living.
Offerings include counseling for women and their children -- including equine-assisted therapy and life-skills training, such as money management and budgeting, and learning about healthy relationships and healthy eating.
