Saint John’s rehabilitative program lasts up to 18 months and provides women with mental health therapy, alcohol and drug counseling, parenting education, budgeting classes, healthy relationship training and hands-on employment training. All services are onsite and required, and 96% of women are placed in non-subsidized employment upon completion of the program!
With the ongoing spread of COVID-19, Saint John’s temporarily closed their campus to outside visitors and stopped their volunteer program. With nearly 250 women and children and 114 employees, they are taking all precautions to protect their clients and staff.
Thank you, Saint John’s, for helping women rise above their circumstances and create better futures for themselves and their families!
