Description

Bethany House provides the long-term safe shelter and resources Northwest Ohio area victims and their children need to safely rebuild their lives in the wake of an abusive relationship. While most homeless shelters offer limited, short-term stays, Bethany House is the only area organization to offer long-term, apartment style transitional shelter, combined with emotional, spiritual and financial support. We’re also different because we tailor our programs to the unique situation of each individual. Each adult victim and every child who enters the safety of Bethany House holds a special place in our hearts. Bethany House is a sponsored ministry of the Sisters of St. Francis of Sylvania, Ohio and is member of Sylvania Franciscan Ministries. Bethany House is also a proud member of Northwest Ohio Community Shares.

  • Adult Program

    Our Adult Program offers a safe refuge from abuse while providing counseling on the dynamics of abuse. We strive to reduce the feelings of isolation, shame, and guilt that a survivor may experience while decreasing the symptoms of victimization. The Bethany House Adult Program provides victims with case management services and acts as an advocate on their behalf, referring them to community, legal and social service resources. Adult participants learn about the effects of violence on children, safety planning, financial education, and receive assistance in filing for crime compensation and securing victim notification. Former Bethany House residents are contacted regularly to ensure their continued emotional and physical well-being. Along with our programs that provide direct assistance for victims of abuse, Bethany House serves as a strong public advocate for the safety of women and children across northwest Ohio. In 2012, through a joint award from Job & Family Services and the YMCA, our staff and clients received the Bridges Out of Poverty training. This training is designed to assist clients in breaking the cycle of poverty. Adult survivors at Bethany completed the fifteen-week curriculum and were paid a stipend at the end of the course. Following the program, 20 survivors were successful in finding employment.

  • Children’s Program

    The Bethany House Children’s Program builds self-esteem, and increases coping and safety skills. Children in this program learn how to identify their feelings and minimize any sense of shame, isolation, guilt or victimization. Our trained staff counsels the children on such topics as gender roles and avoiding unsafe relationships. In addition, our staff strives to reduce stress and provide a sense of normalcy in the children’s lives with fun recreational activities and events.

  • Community Program

    Bethany House staff members advocate for the safety of victims and their children by providing education and training on domestic violence for community groups and homeless shelters. Our staff is encouraged to take an active role in community organizations that are focused on preventing homelessness and domestic violence.
