The Mission of the Elizabeth Stone House
The mission of the Elizabeth Stone House is to prevent institutionalization and further victimization of women in emotional distress through the provision of safe, confidential residential and community support services for them and their children. In an environment, which fosters peer support, program participants define and work toward the accomplishment of practical goals that will enable them to re-enter the mainstream of society.
Our Philosophy
We believe that societal pressures such as poverty, racism, sexism, homophobia, and single parenthood subject women to emotional distress. Violence against women in forms such as rape, incest, child abuse, and assault further jeopardizes her mental health. Acknowledging these problems in an environment of peer support is necessary for healing.
