Our program works to meet the comprehensive needs of victims who have been impacted by abuse and the first order of business is to take care of an individual’s basic needs: clothing, hygiene items, a bed, and nutritious meals and snacks.
Our Emergency Shelter provides a warm, home-like atmosphere, where families can be comfortable and can begin to feel safe. Once settled, safety becomes the top priority of the program and our protocols are designed to enhance safety and confidentiality throughout a participant’s stay. Access to the full suite of trauma-informed services for survivors and their families include support groups, art therapy, personal advocacy, and other services as needed.
Journey Center's Emergency Shelter serves over 350 adults and children annually who are seeking a safe and violent-free life.
