This community of women shares life in a safe environment where they are guided through overcoming traumas and related harmful behaviors, like addiction.
Abi’s House accommodates up to nine individuals and is nestled in a quiet neighborhood. It provides a sanctuary for women to slow down and take a deep breath. Once their basic needs for food and shelter are met, these women can finally emerge from “survival mode” and embark on the journey of healing and growth.
Daily activities encompass self-assessment, psychoeducation classes, mindfulness groups, eco-wellness, household chores, meetings with mentors, counseling, case management, andor reflection. Staff and volunteers support these women each day to help them realize their potential and grow in ways they may not have imagined were possible.
Within the walls of the Abi’s House, we find a connection that is hard to understand without experiencing it firsthand. As they walk alongside each other, residents, staff, and volunteers challenge each other to dig deeper and to be vulnerable. In this setting, women who have never experienced true acceptance and unconditional love find themselves slowly letting others in and being transformed by genuine support.
