Therapeutic and Supportive Services
The female homeless population is growing and we need to pay more attention to their unique needs. Trauma-informed care is essential to meeting the needs of the large percentage of women who have suffered trauma from family separation, violence and abuse. Increased focus on intensive female-centered case management, counseling, and support services is necessary to help homeless women develop work skills. Additionally, today’s economy mandates that we provide ample opportunities including affordable housing, job-training, and comprehensive services for women seeking a better future.
Research shows it is possible to break the cycle of childhood abuse, domestic violence, and homelessness with life changing support, tools, education, and resources that heal broken bodies, minds and spirits. Lotus House is committed to helping homeless women achieve those outcomes for a better way of life.
Learning from the homeless women and female youth we serve, Lotus House provides evidence-based and informed mental health services focused on
