The women escaping the ‘no life’ need a survivor -informed home to begin a foundation of healing from excessive trauma to begin a new life of freedom.
MC, a survivor we have been working with and has been out of this ‘no life’ for a few years says, “Women need a safe place to fall apart. We need rest along with appropriate trauma counseling and programming. Not to be quickly pushed into finding another job when our brains are still in a traumatized state. Recovery is hugely dependent on having strong, non-judging, secure, consistent, and effective support system committed to the survivors. Without all of this, redemption and restoration is nearly impossible.”
