Our
Mission
Epiphany House is
committed to promoting recovery for chemically dependent women with
children, who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.
Epiphany House
provides a continuum of health care and social services. During a stay,
lasting from three to eight months, each resident is assisted to become
firmly established in sobriety and to define for herself who she is,
where and how she will live, and what she will do to create and maintain
a self affirming life.
Epiphany House
takes special care of its youngest residents. While mothers have primary
responsibility for their children, Epiphany House provides the children
with their own case manager and “plan for progress.” This
plan aims at healing the wounds of addiction, neglect, and or abuse that
the children may have suffered. The child care program fosters personal
development and social skills and guiding these children toward educational
success.
Epiphany House
accomplishes its mission by providing:
- Addiction Treatment and
Relapse environment
- Individual, Group, and
Family Counseling
- Parenting Instruction
- Life Skills and Basic
Education
- Health Assessment and
Promotion
- Case Management
- Early Intervention
Services for Children
- On-Site Computer
Instruction
- Referral to Community
Resources
- Legal Assistance
- Transitional, supportive
housing
Graduates of Epiphany
House have been remarkably successful in maintaining an alcohol and
drug-free life style. We are convinced that such success results from a
comprehensive approach that addresses the issue of poverty, abuse, and
homelessness which, if left untreated, contribute to relapse.
