Our program meets survivors where they are. Through a trauma informed, survivor informed, and empowerment-based program. We utilize evidence-based practices, we empower and honor every survivor toward a life of healing and self-sufficiency. We provide advocacy through case management, mentoring, life skills, and coaching to navigate their finances, employment, and relational skills.
Crisis
The crisis stage is the first connection with the survivor. Meeting the basic needs of food, shelter, and clothing are the focus of this stage. Case managers and counselors will assess each survivor’s situation and will help the survivor with their next steps.
Stabilization
Without stabilization survivors have little hope of overcoming the trauma and abuse they have endured. Stabilization lasts an average of 6-8 months and survivors in the program will reside in Covered House, where they will have a safe place to heal.

“The healing journey is messy but the end result is going to be beautiful. Tears happen frequently but they are releasing all the trauma and feelings I wasn’t allowed to feel. I truly feel supported by Covered. Without their help, I wouldn’t be where I am today.”
