Home/Get Help
Get helpAsking is the hard part.
If you are getting out soon, finishing a program, or you just know you cannot do this where you are, reach out. You will talk to a person, not a system. Every situation is different, and we will tell you honestly whether our home is the right fit.
If you are in immediate danger, call 911. For free, confidential support any time, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, or call 1-800-799-7233 for the National Domestic Violence Hotline. More numbers are on our resources page.
How to apply
These steps are in order. Most women reach us at step one and we take it from there. A family member, chaplain, case manager, probation officer, or recovery program can start it on someone's behalf.
