Hope helps people heal through:

• Safety – people cannot heal unless they feel safe. Hope’s physical environment, procedures, and rules are designed to help residents feel safe physically, emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually.
• Relationships – case managers, chaplains, and other staff members work to build loving and trusting relationships with residents. Through these relationships, residents gain the courage, strength, and motivation to address their deepest hurts.
• Counseling – residents have access to both pastoral counseling and mental health counseling through on-site staff and through partner agencies.
  
  

Hope helps people transform through:

• Self-evaluation – through a daily process of evaluating the choices they make, residents discover their underlying beliefs, examine the effects those beliefs have on their lives, and develop plans to transform their thinking.
• Core Classes – residents go through a six-month series of classes that examine what the Bible says about them, about God and about how life is supposed to work. These classes further help residents understand and transform their unhealthy beliefs.
• Addiction Recovery – through classes, group sessions and 12-step meetings residents are able to overcome the lie that a substance or activity is the best way to deal with the pain and hurt of life.
  
  

Hope helps people thrive through:

• Education – All Hope residents have the opportunity to participate in the Adult Education program. Some pursue a GED, some prepare for post-secondary education, and some work on job-related skills.
