Break the cycle

Exodus helps put an end to generational cycles of abuse, addiction, and incarceration that have plagued our residents for a lifetime. The resources we offer here very often represent the last opportunity for our formerly incarcerated single moms to reclaim their children and their family's future. We offer ongoing case management and personal mentoring for the women and require them to attend recovery and life skills classes Monday through Friday (in the evenings). Courses include parenting skills, financial literacy, 12-step recovery curriculum, and spiritual development.  Children’s programming is planned while our ladies are in their classes. Exodus also provides professional counseling for all of our single moms and school-age children in residence. Our women address past traumas; feelings of failure, hopelessness and alienation; anxiety issues; and importantly, problems in re-establishing the parent/child bond. The kids learn to deal with emotions of guilt, shame and fear; low self-esteem; and various behavioral issues.
