Dorcas House
Outreach to women and children begin at Dorcas House. We provide emergency services like food, shelter, clothing and crisis intervention to more than 400 women and children annually.
We offer a ten- to twelve-week Domestic Violence Recovery Program led by licensed Christian therapists with longer-term living arrangements available based on individual needs. The curriculum that we offer goes beyond educating women and children about the cycle of violence but rather addresses root problems through intensive group therapy.
Our program encourages women and children to address deep-seeded pain and suffering like childhood sexual abuse, co-dependence and depression. We work cooperatively with law enforcement and court officials to promote the protection and safety of battered women and children.
If you or someone you know someone needs help, then please call the national domestic violence hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233); and she will be directed to the appropriate shelter or safe house.
