Two Years, Four Phases

Phase 1 // 1st-3rd month

Restorative Reflection / Community Building

During this initial phase, guests focus on self-reflection, understanding boundaries, relationship building, and developing an individual healing and growth plan. They also participate in various assessments while participating in program support and digital detox.

Phase 2 // 3rd-6th month

Empowerment

In this phase, guests work on achieving their personal development goals, including educational and employment objectives. They continue to engage in program support, budgeting and savings, while limiting social media and cell phone use.

Phase 3 // 16th-12th month

Community Integration / Long-Term Planning

The emphasis shifts to independence and self-sufficiency as guests balance work or school with self-care and healing. They actively participate in program support while developing a plan for post-Grace House life.

Phase 4 // 12th-24th month

Launch

During this final phase, guests focus on future plans and prepare for their transition from Grace House into independent living. They maintain employment or continue their education and explore housing options while still participating in program support helping to reinforce their growth and healing.
