Goals of the Service

We work with each person coming to Phoebe House in progressing towards their own personal goals, but the overall aims of the program include the following:

1. To enhance the ability of residents to make thoughtful choices with regard to their drug use by learning ways to more effectively understand and manage risks and consequences.
   
   
2. To enhance women's skills and abilities to make informed choices in taking care of themselves physically, emotionally, and psychologically by increasing their awareness, coping skills and knowledge of relevant information.
   
   
3. To increase and develop women's knowledge of, and skills in, child protection issues, general parenting and developing positive relationships with their children.
   
   
4. To support and encourage women to deal with any outstanding practical issues in their lives, ranging from dental and other health issues to criminal/court matters.
   
   
5. To support women to access and establish appropriate living environments in the future.
