WELLSPRING FOR WOMEN

The trauma caused by sexual abuse makes it difficult for survivors to cope with life in healthy ways. Many abuse survivors try unsuccessfully to numb the pain of abuse and neglect through self-destructive choices including substance abuse, self-mutilation or eating disorders. When survivors realize that their lives have become unmanageable and they are ready to change directions, Wellspring’s healthy community welcomes them with open arms. We have built in supports along the way to make the work of healing less overwhelming.

Wellspring connects a caring community with women seeking a way out of unhealthy lifestyles, promoting healing, wholeness, independence, and family reunification through Biblical principles. Our program deals with the serious issues participants face in a holistic way, focusing on the entire person – body, soul and spirit.

We offer the opportunity for an individualized recovery plan through mentoring, counseling, coaching, life skills education, family therapy and spiritual encouragement. We desire to see women take steps toward a healthy physical lifestyle, being wise and connected in their community, and enjoying spiritual growth.
