Transitional Housing

About

Educational Services

About

Services offered by the full time education coordinator and provide access to our George McManus Education Center. Each resident receives an educational assessment upon entry, creating a plan.

Community support

About

Residents are encouraged to work together to support one another in their recovery efforts. At Marian House residents learn how to trust themselves, staff and one another. They also learn how to develop healthy, supportive relationships. Community is developed through shared chores, community meals and celebrations and the sharing of common living spaces.

Counseling and Case Management

About

Provide personal rehabilitation counseling from our staff therapists. Through therapy, our counselors help residents overcome their issues.

Referrals are made to additional services such as health care and psychiatry as needed.

Aftercare Services

About

Our Alumnae Coordinator supports you through occasional house visits and lunchtime chats. We assist with educational opportunities, employment referrals, and financial matters such as debt reduction, credit repair, financial planning, and income tax preparation. Staff members send birthday cards and notes of encouragement, and respond when women relapse.
