Ruth’s House Society is dedicated to providing comprehensive support to individuals of African descent who are facing family crises and  violence. As an organization, we recognize the unique challenges and cultural nuances that may affect our community, and as such, we offer a range of services designed to address both prevention and intervention.

Preventative Services:

Ruth’s House Society emphasizes the importance of prevention in its mission. These services include educational programs that raise awareness about the signs of family violence and  crises, equipping individuals with the knowledge and tools to recognize unhealthy relationships before they escalate. Workshops and seminars are offered to promote healthy communication, conflict resolution, and emotional well-being within families. Additionally, we provide resources and support groups that foster community connections, helping individuals build strong support networks that can serve as a buffer against potential crises.

Intervention Services:

When crises do occur, Ruth’s House Society is prepared to step in with a range of intervention services. This includes crisis counseling, where trained professionals offer immediate emotional support and guidance to individuals in distress. As an organization we provide safe shelter options for those fleeing family violence, ensuring that individuals have a secure place to stay while they navigate their situation. Legal advocacy services are available to assist clients in understanding their rights and accessing necessary legal protections.

Furthermore, Ruth’s House Society connects individuals with additional resources, such as mental health services, financial assistance, and job training programs, to help them rebuild their lives and achieve long-term stability.

​Through our dual focus on prevention and intervention, Ruth’s House Society aims to empower individuals of African descent to overcome family crises and violence, fostering resilience and promoting healthier family dynamics within the community.
