TRANSITIONAL HOUSING PROGRAM

The number one reason domestic violence victims can’t “just leave” is because they are being financially abused. Transition House is a program that offers a
supportive environment where the survivor can return to school or the workforce. Survivors are given the chance to think about their future and what they want it to look like. Once employed, the families are encouraged to start a savings plan. Through case management and counseling the parent and children will develop skills needed to heal and begin rebuilding a healthy family unit.

PERSONAL SUCCESS STORY

This is the personal story of a recent graduate from the transitional housing program at the Women’s Resource Center.

 

I grew up in a home where I was taught that the role of a woman was to be a mother and a wife. Men were in charge of the family, and the women, whether right or wrong, were always wrong. After graduating from high school, I married at the age of nineteen. During this marriage, my main goal was to raise my children and please my husband. My husband soon learned how to manipulate me by taking advantage of the fact that I wanted to be a good wife.
