A Friend’s House is a long-term residential program offering practical help for women to learn to live healthy lives free of charge. We help women looking for eating disorder treatment, self injury help, severe depression treatment, and Christian counseling. Many of our residents experienced sexual abuse, emotional abuse, physical abuse and psychological abuse. A Friend’s House is a faith-based organization offering therapy, training and biblical teaching. Residents meet with a licensed therapist each week. They also work with their advocates to learn basic life skills, social skills, how to have healthy relationships, how to manage emotions and handle anger. Pregnant women learn parenting skills, receive prenatal support, and also learn about adoption. Residents participate in therapeutic groups, enjoy healthy meals, and exercise together.
