Counseling sessions are an integral part of the Hope's Door program. Residential counseling is provided during the shelter stay, and the aftercare program offers a one-year safety net of continuing support and counseling. Case managers work with each resident to help her develop a safety plan to keep her and her children safe, and to establish a plan of action that will enable her to live independently away from the abuser.
