Addiction, homelessness, and abuse are like open wounds in the body of our community. All Among Us provides advocacy for those impacted by wounds that were often inflicted in childhood. While we cannot fully bring an end to these terrible realities, we do believe that we can make a difference one person at a time. We create a ripple effect in the communities we serve, slowing spreading healing and self-reliance back into the world.
To this end, we focus our efforts on assisting the most vulnerable members of our communities in their most vulnerable times.
"When clinicians are trying to help women to change, grow, and heal from addictions, it is critical that they place women in environments in which they can experience mutual, empathetic, healthy relationships with their counselors and with one another."
Our Life Mentoring Program builds relationships with critically at-risk populations of women who have experienced multiple life-traumas. Most will suffer from addiction and mental illness due to their traumas.

While specifics do vary, the throughline of all our work is to create stability through our seven pillars which emphasize financial literacy, workforce readiness, life skills, recovery, mental and physical health, family and friendships, and aftercare.
We have developed these pillars through years of experience and with the understanding that in the lives of women who have suffered trauma, there are common core experiences that require teaching skills to a person specifically and purposefully deprived of the opportunity to learn. While working with us, our program recipients can identify what they have lacked to effectively manage their lives and receive whatever they need to fill the gap.
It is our aim to treat everyone with the dignity and respect they are due as human beings in need. Living happy, productive lives means helping others do the same. When individuals receive the care and compassion to make their lives better, they help create better communities for everyone.
