The Therapeutic Community

The Therapeutic Community (TC) is a five-month residential alternative to the traditional mental health system. Residents establish and work toward practical goals while living in a supportive environment. To help strengthen self-esteem, self-direction, and dignity, staff advocates help the resident prioritize her goals while providing her with information pertaining to employment, affordable housing, financial planning, and therapeutic and support services. Women in the TC take responsibility for creating a safe and supportive community, sharing rooms, chores, and cooking, and utilizing each other for support through bi-weekly house meetings. Those who wish to enter the program must contact the Stone House personally. After a brief telephone screening, a woman is put on a waiting list and must check-in weekly to confirm continued interest in the program. When a space becomes available, staff and residents interview her.
