"The secret to change is to focus all your energy, not on fighting the old but building the new" Socrates
Socrates born 439BC, wrote the above statement yet in all these years we still have not grasp the concept. We spend millions of dollars to fight various causes ( war, poverty, violence ) yet how much energy and money do we use to heal these situations?
Annabelle's Haven is taking Socrates idea to heart with our unique approach to healing women and children affected by domestic violence. Annabelle's Haven's two year residency program mission is to honor and empower the women and children as they go through the healing process. Along with one on one advocacy and participation group support there will be skill building classes, job readiness, life skills parenting classes, nutrition classes. We will be helping the women not only to survive but to thrive.
Once a week there will be a discussion of their problems and issues. For true strength is when you have a lot to cry about but you choose to smile and take another step forward. We will than celebrate their accomplishments. By celebrating their millstones we are putting the focus on how far they have come not on how far they have to go.
