4 Stages of Shalom Sanctuary
Survival Stage
1) Initial interview, we provide a toiletry bag, welcome gift pack. 2) Explain the rules. 3) Call in a doctor if necessary.
Stability Stage
Each resident spends a minimum of six months in intensive counseling. The stability phase is where a solid foundation of Biblical truth is set and initial presentation problems begin to be resolved.
Success Stage
Individual goals begin to be accomplished in this phase. Many times residents in success phase work or pursue education while still living at Shalom Sanctuary
Significance stage
1)Move into 2nd phase house, the second stage house provides safe accommodation with supportive programs for 1 year . The home is shared by three women and their children ,low rent is payable to Shalom ,but they continue to receive counseling and support .
Most residents find that 12-18 months in the program is generally adequate, although graduation readiness is individually determined. True growth takes time and a lot of effort, and process should not be rushed.
